I have both, SCSI Wide and EIDE

I do alot of Video capturing and need the best performance I can get on 
a Pentium.
I can tell you one thing from experience, the IDE will give you better 
performance for your system files.
The new FAST ATA-2 IDE hard drives in Mode 4 can out perform some SCSI 
hard drives.
I have several SCSI hard drives taken from my Amigas when I upgraded 
them to larger drives.
Quantum ELS 85, Quantum 105, Maxtor 213 and Maveric 540. I also have a 
Fireball 1 gig and Micropolis 4221WAV Wide.

My Samsung 1.2 gig (fast ATA-2) will perform better than the 85,105, and 
213 meg drives. (by a long shot!) The Maveric 540 and Fireball are 
comparible in program execution but not for system files.
The Micropolis 4221WAV is much faster than the IDE but at a price of 
over $800.

The best thing is to have your system files on a good EIDE and program 
files on a fast SCSI with PCI controller.
