Define "best". USB has the advantage that it can be used with so

other devices. I don't recall ever seeing a firewire mouse,
printer or
keyboard.
Disregarding the market share issue, is Firewire technically superior
to USB? Will I get faster transfer rates over Firewire than USB?
Well, there are three USBs and two Firewires. but Firewire is
generally faster. However, unless you're transferring video files,
you're not likely to notice -- which is the reason that the cheaper
USB is the de-facto standard for general-purpose work.
