Not many machines have FW these days (Do Macs still have it? Mine is a hackintosh), and I've always found it a lot less reliable than USB2 on Windows boxes. A lot of my studio gear is FW and it's very fussy about the actual FW chipset, is not hot-pluggable and sometimes just stops working for no reason.
