No collisions, no glitches. From a practical perspective, this also makes it safer
to send a lot more audio via Firewire. That’s why most of the multichannel
interfaces (18 channels, 24 channels, etc.) are Firewire devices, and USB devices
usually just send a two channel stereo signal.
For hooking up your mouse, keyboard or thumb drive, USB is plenty fast
and plenty cheap. For hard drives, either one will do (although Firewire is
somewhat more reliable). For audio devices, USB will do fine if no other devices
are competing with it and if you have processor room to spare. But Firewire will
always be able to handle more load with lower latency and no glitches, because
it has resources it can set aside to make sure your audio gets where it needs to
go.
