I would recommend to have daily phone on NAND. It behaves much better when you 
improperly shutdown the phone (e.g.  pull off battery).

On SD card you have most often ext2/ext3 which need running fsck and i have 
experienced corrupted files. In NAND there is jffs2 - i never experienced it.

SD card has the capacity advantage. It's good if you compile on freerunner or 
install some big apps.

I use Qi for booting from SD card and u-boot for booting from NAND because 
it's comfortable (POWER for SD card, POWER+AUX for NAND) and you can edit 
/boot/append-GTA02 boot params for SD card easily.

Radek
