Years ago, Firewire was much faster than USB. But now with USB 2.0, it is not really needed except if you are doing video editing and transferring. And if you are doing that, then you will probably need the Macbook Pro (which has firewire) for it's higher quality graphics card anyway, so you wouldn't be a target consumer for the Macbook.
