Need An External HD

I'm trying to decide between these two external hard drives:

Western Digital 120GB USB 2.0 - $229.95

AND

Western Digital 120GB FireWire/USB 2.0 $249.99

It looks like they're pretty much the exact same drive except for another $20.00 you can get the FireWire/USB 2.0 Combo instead of the USB 2.0 only.

So my question is why would you pay an extra $20.00 bucks for the FireWire capability when USB 2.0 has a faster data transfer rate than FireWire? I just want to make sure that I'm not missing something here before I go pick one on these up.
