I'm not sure what you mean by fire switches -- I assume you mean Fibre
Channel switches. If it's between Fibre Channel and Firewire, use Fibre Channel and sleep at night.
Either hubs or switches will work. I don't know what hubs you are talking about but there aren't many on the market. If you use hubs, your SAN will be a stand-alone SAN or a subset of another SAN in the future.
I don't believe you can build an infrastructure with hubs. So if you are thinking you may want to expand this SAN into something bigger in the future, then go with switches.
