Internal: SCSI

External: Firewire or SCSI.

Firewire is closely related to the SCSI-3 specification, and can already
handle SCSI commands over the IEEE 1394 bus. So you can already find Firewire
to SCSI adapters, and/or SCSI devices that are built into a Firewire case.

Well I dunno about you but I'd want all that stuff internal, so that's SCSI.

FireWire is used sort of like USB (it's a hell of a lot better, but the uses are similar, in that's it an external multi-purpose bus)

I don't think you could even have a main hard drive as FireWire I really doubt they are bootable.
