I am building a NAS in RAID 1 (Mirror) mode. Should I buy 2 of the same drive from the same manufacturer? or does it not matter so much?

Yup. Same age, same design, same failures... and array rebuilds are super intense workloads that often force a lot of random reads and run the drive at 100% load for many hours.
