no CF card because of (?).
CF usability depends on the card. Most of the old cards Just Work (TM). New cards tend to have some problem with writing to them (it happens 30x slower than it should). It's on my TODO list, so sooner or later it will happen :-) Ah, and you need PATA_PLATFORM enabled.

I think that in practice USB storage tends to be fastest and most reliable. This might change in the future, but I've found that for now a USB card reader, USB stick or a real disk attached via USB works pretty well.
Admittedly though, I haven't been testing the other mechanisms too much lately.
