Gig is currently the sampler's most mature and stable engine. The SF2 engine so far only supports raw playback of samples, no implementation of articulation information yet. So the SF2 engine is not really usable yet in practice. And yes, the SF2 engine (like all engines) support disk streaming, since alle engines share the same base classes. The SFZ engine however is already implemented quite well, but of course it's by far not so mature is gig yet. A lot of features of the format are already implemented, and some not yet. Which format to use, depends on what features you really need. Also consider we dont provide a graphical instrument editor for SFZ yet, in contrast to the gig format. However on the other side, you can edit SFZ instruments with a normal text editor, the gig format is binary only.
