You can use Apple’s Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) to Thunderbolt 2 Adapter to connect these displays to an Intel Mac. If you’re a longtime Mac user, maybe you invested in Apple’s Thunderbolt display some years ago. The other side is a standard USB-C connector that you plug into your MacBook or 24-inch iMac.

There’s a USB-C to Lightning adapter, thanks to the folks at Anker. More recent iPhones and iPads include a USB-C to Lightning cable, and the iPad Pro includes a USB-C charging cable, so you don’t need the adapter for those devices.

The drives last (you can take them out and continue to use them with a separate enclosure) but the enclosures have tended to die after about 2-3 years.
WD's MyBook line, I don't find their enclosures built very well. Currently using a G-Drive slim (iTunes), G-Drive (Time Machine), and a G-Safe (external storage w/ RAID1) I've been a fan of Hitachi hard drives for awhile now, G-Tech has used them for years now and they own them now too. That said, my recommendation would be G-Technology drives. I don't believe iMacs supported Thunderbolt back in 2010.
FW800 would be about twice as fast as USB2 but you'll be buying old technology on its way out the door. USB3 would be the slowest since your iMac only supports USB2 but you'll be ready for USB3 speeds whenever you upgrade. As others have mentioned, it would help to know what connectors you're looking to use.
