What's best back up drive for Tiger iMac?

I need to back up my stuff before the Cloud moves in. What external hard drive would be easiest to use? I have Firewire and my daughter suggested an iomega drive, but I'm not sure.

iMac, Mac OS X (10.4.11)

Thanks for the prompt response. I didn't see a drive compatible with OSX 10.4.11. I was looking to save my stuff before I add memory and upgrade to Snow Leopard, which I understand is as far as I can go with this Mac.

Those drives will work with any Mac, even OS9! 🙂
