FireWire FTW! USB is technically faster but it never reachers it's top speed. I always preferred FW.

USB VS Firewire!

Atheos and Alembicplyr explained it well.
As an engineer, this is why I lean toward FireWire for A/V peripherals. USB is fine for 2-track audio if the computer is dedicated and isn't being used for other stuff at the same time. But if you're doing multi-track or video, the smaller latency and smarter bus architecture of Firewire will almost always work better for you.
