Look at the media price too, it makes a big difference. How many tapes
do you expect to use? For my home system, doing long-term off-site
backup cycle and temporary regular backup cycle, plus some spares, I use
about 25 tapes.

Personally, I will go with DAT any day, due to track record (very good)
and portability (you will find most sites can use DAT).
