Quick question

Is it better to put a hard drive controller (SCSI or IDE) on a VESA
local bus or EISA slot?  Which bus will give me better performance?


Also, I'd like recommendations on good 486DX2/66 systems with at least 2
VESA local bus slots and the rest EISA (though I'm not adament on the
EISA part).  One system that caught my eye is Zenon's Z-dream II.  Any
comments?
I plan to run windows, unix, and X on this machine.
