Personally, I prefer SCSI.  What with external SCSI drives being
readily available cheap, I can easily set one up to essentially be a
big transfer disk for getting stuff over onto my GS.  All I have to do
is connect the drive to the old Mac IIVX I just picked up, pop in the
MS-DOS floppy that my GS downloads were copied onto, copy the disk
onto the SCSI hard drive, then connect the transfer drive to the GS
and copy the files to the GS hard drive.

It will be even easier once I can get a NuBUS Ethernet adapter for the
Mac, then I won't even have to bother with floppies; except when I
want to copy stuff for the ][+, IIe, and IIc.
