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.
