There are HUGE difference between them and each one is good at
something.
Some are very good at reading CF but bad writing them and the opposite
for SD cards and vice versa, you see what mean.
Absolutely. My Belkin 8-in-1 USB 2.0 reader is very fast on SD cards,
good on CF cards, very slow on Memory Stick PRO cards.
Also whatever the theoretical lmimits, Firewire is about everytime
faster the USB2: often a bit, sometimes a lot. But when you'll see the
price of a firewire card reader, you'll buy the USB one IMO.
Not *always* but most of the time this is true. I only know of one
FireWire SD card reader available (don't own it). I have a Lexar
FireWire CF card reader too, but it is no faster than the USB 2.0 CF
card reader.
