sata. it has a better transfer rate than the ide
But if your mother board can support scsi it is better and has the fastest transfer rate among the hardisk. and scsi hardisk are more durable compared to sata and ide

Most common today is SATA.
SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) is potentially the fastest available for a desktop system, of course, you'll need a controller that supports it.
Your best bet for speed at a relatively low cost is to use four Western Digital Raptor 10,000 RPM drives in a RAID 10
RAID 5 might help a little... but it depends on the controller.

most hard drives these days r either serial ATA (SATA) or parellel (PATA) IDE and SCSI drives r starting 2 die out (cept mayb in older pcs) u should get a drive of at least 80 GB with a 8MB cache (16MB is better) that runs at 7200rpm (10,000 if u cn get it) the Western Digital Raptor X is a good drive that has all these specs if u cn afford it buy 2 of them n put them in a raid 0 array (not raid 5 it wont speed up ur comp's performance)

in both the types there's only difference in data speed.
sata 1.0 hdd works at 150mbps max, sata 2.0 hdd works on 300mbps max, and ide works at 100mpbs max. but it also depends on the hdd RPM. always go for a higher rmp hdd. higher rmp=higher data speed.
seagate barracuda works at 7200 rpm, seagate cheetha works at 10,000 rpm but a it costiler.
so sata version of barracuda is good option
