Static in the handling of items is not a threat to hard drives, just RAM and 4-pin FW400 connections (because the grounding plug is missing from the original 6-pin design).
FW800 is FW800. It also has eSATA port you could use. I don't see how it would be any slower than editing on any other FW800 drive.
