jpea,
Premier actually is available for Macs and has been around on Macs longer than on PCs. I think it is the most comonly used PC editor though.
As for the external HD, there are many external FireWire HDs that are 7200rpm...which is mighty fast enough for video. That DVD project that I did (North) was actually on a Lacie 120GB FW HD. Now with FW 800 it would be even faster I imagine.
Another thing to consider...stability. When you're working on a huge video project you don't want shit to crash every 10 minutes......I'd stay the fuck away from Windows and OS 9.x if I were you.
I think that's all the advice I have to dish. Good luck on your decision.
