Is SCSI worth it?

I've never used SCSI in any Amiga before but I do have the SCSI module for my CS2 060. I would like to know if it is it worth buying SCSI hard drives to replace my IDE ones? What sort of performance increases would I be looking at? the only thing i can compare it to now is vs WinUAE and writing to disk in UAE is blistering compared to the Amiga's on board IDE, would the difference be anything on that scale?

Also with SCSI there are many types of drives, are they all compatible with the Amiga? Is the Amiga limited to Parallel SCSI drives like SCSI 1/2/3 and Ultra 2/3 etc or can it use Serial Attached SCSI drives too? there is so many options here I am unsure of what to look for. Would something like this be suitable for the Amiga?

I've also got a Buddha Flash (out of action right now but i'm looking to get it fixed). I've never seen this working either, how much of a speed up would this give me when working properly with IDE drives?

What should I do?
