8mm or DDS, which is better?

[Stuart Szabo]

Does anyone know of what advantages 8mm has over DDS tape drives?
Or,  are DDS tape drives a better choice?   

Which has the better tranfer rates?

Which has better search algorithyms to locate files faster for extraction?

Which one is more of a standard?

Which has lower error rates?

etc, etc, etc, etc.

			Thanks,
