I think you would be better off with Firewire for the high-bandwidth 
applications like video, and USB for lower bandwidth applications like 
keyboard, mouse, and audio...Firewire already supports 400Mbs and will 
support more in the future, and has many peripherals available for it, 
like cameras, hard drives, etc.
