Hardware recommendations for running a VM on an external drive. - Super User

Hardware recommendations for running a VM on an external drive.: I am considering running a virtual machine on an external drive from a laptop. I understand that there will be a benefit to getting the vm off of the drive that the OS is on. Plus I could just use the space.
Given that scenario and assuming I don't want to spend more than a few hundred bucks, what combination of hardware will give me the best performing vm?
A fast hard drive vs. a solid state drive? USB vs. eSATA vs. Firewire (keeping in mind I'd need a Cardbus card for eSATA"

Note: After reading all the review I feel eSATA is the best.
