Don't really think you'd notice much difference.
Here's two very good discussions on the subject:

I haven't read brads links, but I would probably go for the 8Mb buffer one. Hard drives are not yet at the level where they can really make use of the 133Mb/s interface. It may be useful if you have 2hard drives in a RAID array, but for most people ATA100 & 133 wiull perform the same.
