E-satas have long way to come to become stable. Editing systems working with e-sata cards might crash often.
I have had a e-sata cardbus card which was fine for copying, and for basic stuff, but kept crashing every 20 sec under video editing. (WIN XP)
I decided to replace the e-sata card with FW800 cardbus. Not a crash since that.

I presume that the latest generation of laptops equipped with native e-sata port should work fine but you'll not see those to appear on Apple laptops I think.

Bottom line:
For editing stay with FW 800, for copying content - e-sata could do.

eSATA Stability / Instability with MBP and Mac Pro
 
So as not to hijack this thread (which is on hard drives) any longer I've started a discussion specifically about eSATA and MBPs in the Mac Editing section, link below.
