SuperDuper! cannot write 'directly' to a network drive. As such, you'd need to use a "Sparse Image" as explained in the FAQ. While the result is something that's bootable once restored, it's *not* bootable as an image.
As such, you're much better off with the 2nd alternative... it'll be faster, more reliable (due to the complexity involved in a network connection) and allow direct boot.
Make sure you get a FireWire drive that support Macintosh boot. Many do not: LaCie, OWC, WiebeTech and Maxtor (OneTouch II) definitely do. No USB devices do. So, be aware and careful!
