Networking on A1200 - PCMCIA or USB?

[rdolores]

I have an Amiga 1200 with a Blizzard IV (64 MB RAM, 50 MHz) that I have recently begun to update.  I have installed a Subway USB on it and upgraded my hard drive to a 60 GB.  I am now considering a way to connect it to my home network via Ethernet.  I believe I have 2 options: a PCMCIA ethernet card or a USB Ethernet adapter via my Subway USB.

Which is better and why?

So far, the cons are:

PCMCIA - 16-bit only, takes up PCMCIA slot so I can't use my Squirrel SCSI card
USB - Only supports USB 1.1 speeds

I am planning on Wired because my A1200 is in my family room which is already wired.

At some point in the future, I would also like to get the new Indivision AGA (new version) when it comes out.

So what has been your experience and recommendations

My Blizzard is actually a 030/50 MHz processor.  Thanks for all the feedback.  I think I will go with the PCMCIA solution, even if it means I must switch it out with my SquirrelSCSI card.  I really on use it for my CD-ROM Drive (which I could replace with a IDE one if a got the Fast ATA adapter with a second IDE port.  I believe it will perform better than the USB one.  I took a look at the latest Poseidon archive (4.4) and it looks like there were some improvement on resource use when using USB Ethernet devices.  The Subway USB is great.  Very versatile (USB Keyboard, USB Mouse, USB Flash Drives, Digital Cameras, etc...).  But perhaps not for Ethernet.
