Another advantage to Firewire drives is Target Disk Mode, which allows
you to migrate your files to a new computer easily if you're not able
to use Migration Assistant for some reason (I was not, and Target Disk
Mode saved me).

USB will work fine for Super Duper. I use them all the time.
Firewire will just work faster.
Also, older PowerPC Macs can’t boot off USB drives.
