I have a Yamaha 2100S (SCSI) that boots fine.  Sometimes my IDE bus 
takes precedence, but it has been very reliable in the past.  I rely on 
this drive when my computer goes down.

I am not sure what you want "bootable" to mean.  There is bootable from 
the startup disk control panel, and there is bootable from holding down 
the "c" key or equiv on startup.  You can generally do the former almost 
all the time but the latter doesn't always seem to work (from reading 
the database on xlr8yourmac).  I have had luck with both of these boot 
procedures almost 100% of the time.  I think that the 2100S is the 
fastest SCSI drive available.  There are IDE drives w/SCSI bridges, but 
they tend to be more expensive.  I don't know if they'll make SCSI RW's 
anymore.  :(
