Personally - I love the hell out of them. Not sure what the usage for power / ratio is per USB Bus and Internal power consumption - but it seems to me that if the USB is self powered - than yeah - could be slower and draw more power from the source (your PC) but if it's a powered external (which most are) than it would be fair to assume that the USB Bus would only find a tiny bit of hindrance.
Overall - I would'nt have it any other way for the externals. They are a blessing for travel and sharing. In my LAN games - I can take a bundle of maps and transfer then at the simple plug-N-play of a USB device.
I have been looking into the newer flash drives however - and wonder if external drives are going to be a thing of the past before we know it
There's my $20.00 worth LOL

Here are two of the three that I own.
You can find them rather cheap here:

The third looks just like this - but it holds a CD/DVD Rom and up to 160GB HDD.
