I've not actually tried the back up utility built into the device; but I've found that I usually prefer the functionality and extra robust features of 3rd party utils, as I prefer PI as my PIM, Icbar to the Dell Switcher, and other such types of built in utilities. I get a small bit of satisfaction when I've found a new proggie that I can use and install on the device. Of course I prefer freeware but I'm not opposed to laying down 20 bucks for something (and most PPC stuff is fairly inexpensive)
I don't know what the cost of a card reader for a PC is (so that I could sync up the SD/CF cards, but if its comparable to the software, I'd be more like to use the software solution, just to avoid have more peripherals on my desk.
And I've lost 2 HD's thru no fault of my own, so I'm a bit leary of just backing up to my desktop thru AS, which is slow any way.
