We air on 13 local stations in rural Japan, and are still delivering to

XDCAM HD disks.

No experience with XDCAM disks so far. Since we will only be using it
for deliverables, I'm wondering if the USB drive (PDW-U2) is the way to
go, with Avid's "Export to device..." or if it is better/faster/more
stable to use an XDCAM HD deck with all the usual HDSDI ins & outs,
RS422 control, and Digital Cut.

Googling has not been too helpful....
Any advice from those who have used XDCAM is greatly appreciated!

 Several years back someone gave me the tip that you can export an XDCam file and with the proper sony driver so you see the xdcam icon for the drive you can just drag the exported file to the disk.  I can't recall if it was drag it to the contents folder or something and the disk driver would do the work to make it a playable file on the drive without having to export to device or whatever the proper term was.  At the time we were delivering XDCam disks to a truck for a live show and it worked very well.
