I have used Jaz, Syjet, and Zip.  I have installed Jaz because of these reasons:
1.  Turns almost as fast as your hard drive, so you can use it at home or
work as an alternative hard drive.  Due to the space you can store your
programs and files on the jaz and use it at home and the office as a
removable hard drive.
2.  Never had a problem yet.  
3.  Cheap way of having people complete work at home if need be.
