with anaconda, pso, and whatever else (I've never used the method) you always have to have your computer on and compatibility isn't great from what I've heard.
with viper, you don't need your computer on and compatibility is very good if you have a dol-001 revision gamecube (you can find the # on the bottom of the cube).
you can rip games with both setups if you have the bba.
overall, like I said I haven't used the anaconda method, but from what i've heard about it, viper is much better and it's only $57 at http://www.divineo.com/ At least is was when I got it there a couple weeks ago.

Definately go for the Viper GC method.... but wait a couple of weeks first, there are a few new GC chips coming out and this will push the price right down... ;)

that's the old streaming method. now you can use pso to play backups on discs. it probably explains it later on in that thread.
viper is a modchip that uses a swap method to boot backups. it higher compatibility and doesn't need your pc on to boot backups.
if you can solder a few tiny wires on very tiny points on a circuit board, or know someone that can, get the viper. but like indienemo said, the prices should drop soon so you should wait about a month before you get it.

You're asking the wrong guy about streaming since I've never done. Just read through some of the newer pages on the thread you posted on backup/booting. You should find it there.
Get a dvd burner. My sony dru-710a was only like $70 and it's rated #1 on a lot of sites. and discs (good ritek GO4's) are only about $.36 each now if you buy in bulk.
