What do you guys think is more reliable for everday 24 hour a day use?

I am thinking about using a usb flash drive as a hard drive instead of a hard drive. Mostly for its compact size. But I am wondering if it will last as long as a normal hard drive?

I tried it today and all my software went on just fine. But it seemed to run slower. Does flash drives read slower than hard drives?
