For general use USB is great, but when it comes to HA devices, I much prefer RS232/RS422/RS485. It's easier to extend the wiring over twisted pair directly or send the serial over IP. I also like devices which support IP directly. I would rank USB as my least favorite interface as it has presented the most problems for me when integrating HA peripherals.
Also, many HA devices have very low bandwith requirements and do not require the multi Mbit/sec provided by USB.
