We have both IDE and SCSI (some are hot swap and some are no) in a large data center with many different kinds of systems. We see BOTH kinds of drives fail infrequently. IMO, if you have a server without a hot backup server, or one that's not in a cluster, using a hot-swappable SCSI setup is something you should seriously consider - especially for a DB server. However, we use IDE quite successfully in several situations.
