I don't have a strong preference either way, they both have pro's and cons. SATA theoretically is faster, although DVD Drives don't use that much bandwidth anyways. The only real pro is that they use smaller cables.
The cons would be that some older motherboards may have some issues with SATA drives and not being seen correctly, or at all before the OS loads.
