Default Windows 7 and PTMP 8.0.5, audio storage

I've read two viewpoints about USB vs Firewire for storing the audio files on a Windows 7 OS for PTMP 8.0.5....

Firewire is always the best way to go, OR...

USB is better in Windows 7 OS and has some bugs for Firewire.


Has there been further testing done? Which is the best to use?

Avid says Firewire connected Harddrives are not supported anymore with Windows 7. I've moved my Glyph to eSata since upgrading to Win7 with no problems. Actually, better performance than WinXP connected via Firewire.
