External HDD - Firewire or USB2?

Question

My PC is running out of hard drive space (using 2 x 106Gb drives) so I want to add an external drive. The drive will contain al my video footage (from HDD camcorder) for editing.

If I use an external HDD will a USB2 connection be quick enough or do I need to look at a firewire HDD?

I edit using either Pinnacle Studio 11 or Adobe Premier Pro.

Many thanks

There is little difference between the two to be quite honest. I use Firewire800 mostly but USB2 is absolutely fine.
