If you are not interested in printing photos I say go with HP. My F4180 works great for what I use it for. "By far, the slowest part of the entire system will be the printer, so speed won't matter. If you are going to share the printer on a network, then ethernet would be best because it doesn't require a host computer to be on. If it's just for this one computer and you'd like to connect to the internet via ethernet but don't have a router, then USB is best. Other than those two conditions, I don't think it will matter."
