It all really comes down to $ more than compatibility.
How fast, how big, how much cost for media, how much automation (will someone be there to swap tapes?).
Don't forget about archival purposes. Once had a law suit and needed database records from several years past. VERY IMPORTANT!
I can do a bare metal restore of any of our servers with tape in around an hour, don't know why it would take days?
