Depends. If you're capturing from tape, I don't think you'll find anything but firewire. If you're using AVCHD (card, disk) it's all USB as far as I can see.

I like firewire
 
As people have said, it's not that either is better, it just depends on what your camera uses. So I'd choose not by connection but just choose the camera you want.

Specification-wise USB runs at 480mbps, Firewire at 400. In real world performance I think they are about the same, though.
