Best I/O Option For My System?

So I have one of these XPC C2 I’m shopping for a new interface and it had’nt even occured to me to consider the PCI and optical SPDIF I/O on my computer. I just assumed I would be looking for a new firewire interface. Are there options I should be considering given my PCs features?

USB or Firewire

quick question..I will be needing to get a new interface down the road because I had to sell EVERYTHING..SO…..do you think firewire is faster (latency wise) than USB…I have had USB rigs in the past and they always seemed slow with lots of latency, I never had that problem with firewire, but a lot of the interfaces I see today are USB and I like a lot of them, he only thing that would stop me is that they are USB..am I nuts? Is usb better tody than they were with the first mbox?
