IMO, there are two reasons to use a USB adapter -
1. There are no free PCI slots in your PC (could also apply to laptops)
2. You are unable to install a PCI card (eg no experience adding cards, would invalidate warranty)

If neither of those apply, go PCI.

Bop has a valid point about swapping among machines, but if every system has its own adapter, ie your mate has only one computer, that prob doesn't apply.
