I have both. Performance-wise they are indistinguishable. A nice feature
on the MicroDrive card is that you can hold down the Open-Apple key at
startup and select which partition to boot from, which is really handy
for me since I have it in a IIgs which I normally use with ProSel
(8-bit), but sometimes have the need to boot GS/OS.
I bought my MicroDrive from Bill at GarberStreet Ent. and I can safely
say he excels in the support department.

All said and done, I can't honestly recommend one over the other... why
don't you just get one of each? ;-)
