Just for reference, most PC motherboards these days STILL only come with 
1394a connectors(Firewire400).  If you were using it for an external HD 
or RAID I would definitely recommend 1394b(Firewire800)
But like Mark I have seen no problem against eSATA, I just haven't used 
it myself to comment on it, but technically that SHOULD be better than 
Firewire for storage I believe.  Again though, haven't used it so I cant 
really comment on it.
