i have been reading and there are many ways to play backups and I am looking for the best method given my current situation

I do not have a DVD/R or a spare HD so I need to purchase hardware/ I have a PS2 V4.

Should i purchase a flip top and DVD/R or would a HDD/Network Adapter with HD Loader be a better method

Thanks for any advise

go with swap magic and a fliptop. That way, if you decide you want a hd, you can just load a burned copy of hd loader. As for buying a dvd burner, http://www.pricewatch.com has the best deals (pioneer 110 is a great burner for $45).

Yeah, I would go with Swap magic over the HDD.

One thing to add that could change my decision - The PS2 is used primarily by a 3, 5 and 7 year old. Would the HDD option be earier to operate vs swapping disks?

Yeah, its easier.
your going to need:
1. official sony network adaptor
2. latest version of hd advance (3.0 i think)
3. a big hd, probably 120gigs.

Your only going to be able to have about 35 games on the hd at once.
