Not sure I caught the original intent for this connector. PMC is an excellent choice for higher speed items, Mini PCI is another possibility, Depending on what sort of data rates your talking about we might even want to consider the Hypertransport type slot/connector.
If the concerns if finding houses to source these for the general public most of these would not be an issue. All of these options support much higher data rates that an IDE header would. One could even utilize multiple PMC connectors. Again I didn't catch the original statement of intent for this however. LVDS is not at all a bad choice for a high-speed signaling type. Readily available on most FPGA and PLDs families, even transceivers are readily accessible, data rates can be pushed fairly high when needed.
