I'd recommend USB 2. Not because I like it better, but because your iMac will have more USB 2 ports that FireWire ports.

One other thing, since your pulling them from a Windows box, the Mac can read and write to FAT32 drives, but can only read (not write to) NTFS drives. You may need to format the drives as FAT32, assuming they are not already. I'd recommend using the Mac to do so, as it is easier to format them as FAT32 with OSX.
