Either should work fine in dom0 on recent versions of 2.0 or unstable - there
are no known problems with these. You can use the PCI assignment if you want
to give a domU direct access to a USB or Firewire controller and all its
attached devices. Either way, you'll need to add the appropriate drivers to
your kernel config: we include USB support but not Firewire or USB Mass
Storage drivers.
There's also code for plumbing individual USB devices through from dom0 to a
domU but it'd not quite ready for primetime. Plumbing individual Firewire
devices through in a similar way would be possible - just needs someone to
write the code ;-)
Cheers,
Mark
