USB2 peaks at 480Mbits per sec - and even of those, many are instruction bits not actual data. FW800 on the other hand is 800Mbits/sec of data with less CPU load and direct memory access.

SSDs are great in notebooks. They are fast, consume little power and best of all your machine won't crash when the hdd's head crashes if you move your machine too much while it's reading its disk. The best SSDs atm are made by Intel although competitors have some decent offerings now to compete.

Weren't there cases of these drives being bricked by a firmware fault? Or was that a win-only `feature'?

Yup but they pulled the firmware for now. They dealt with the problem far faster than when seagate had massive failures and kept denying it and it took them 3 months to offer a solution.
