Personal choice would be PCI, Just had better speeds and ranges with PCI than USB, fitted around 11 networks just this year and fitted pci cards in around 9 of them. Good luck.

USB will use a little bit more of your processor (only fractionally).
Benefit is that you could easily remove it (USB) and use it in a laptop or watever other system. And that it is slightly easier to fit.
USB may also be slightly easier to position for the best signal reception as they are on a wire with at least a metre length normally (and you can extend this with a USB extension cable). PCI can often have limited wire length to the aerial meaning poor reception if the PC is on the floor.
