I know, I know... this has probably been asked before, but...

Out of the 3 drives below, can anyone (owners in particular) reveal the good/bad about the following 3 drives? I'm leaning towards LaCie b/c I had a good experience with a previous product, but also like the looks of the OWC and VST drives.

I'm also interested in knowing which company offers the best support.

Anyway, I'm looking to buy a 40GB Firewire external drive for a G4 Mac running OS 9.2.2
