Daisy chain or Firewire Hub

[ravinder08]

Getting new iMac i7 in the next week or so.
Looking to get a couple of hard drives both will be firewire.
I will use one HD to store Music, Movies and Photos (I have about 500gigs worth at least) The other HD will be used to back up everything. I will be using it in conjunction with Carbon Copy Cloner so it will be bootable if I have any probs.
Now................ Do I daisy chain the drives or get a Hub?

Either one works fine.

Either one works fine.

OK so no difference in performance, so I could save money by daisy chaining.

Is this better than USB HD's

Thanks

FW 400 is somewhat faster than USB 2.0 in real-world use. FW 800 is more than double USB 2.0 in speed.
