I am using SCSI for both my Maxtor 200MB driver and for the 44MB Syquest drive. It works great. I think that any drive that looks like a normal drive to DOS should work. The Syquest requires a driver to implement removable drives. Without the driver it looks like a 40MB hard disk. I haven't tried Stacker with a Bernoulli, but it would certainly be worth a try. The speed increase has to come from a higher effective transfer rate. I suppose (if the stacker drive isn't overly fragmented) you get a better access time since the data is packed into fewer tracks.
