Fibre Channel vs iSCSI

Hi
I am thinking about investing in a SAN for my company & am not sure
whether to go with Fibre Channel or ISCSI

In opensuse 10.3 which would be more favourable in terms of support
for hardware , ease of configuration, manageability / maintainability
etc?

Any opinions / experiences would be appreciated.
