I haven't had any issues with lirc_zilog except for the inevitable longer tuning times. This is because you have to wait for each key press to complete in series before the tuning operation is complete. So tuning to channel 193 is 1-9-3-enter with a slight delay between each keypress. I don't have a choice though as my vip211k has no firewire ports on it. If I had firewire I would prefer that as the tuning is a single command and will complete channel changes faster. I would stick with firewire if you have it working.
Edit: I would recommend s-video for SD instead of composite though as the quality is a little higher.
