As a photo-junkie who hasn't thought about it for a while, take this
with a small grain of salt.

Inkjet technology is now very impressive.  It rivals traditional
photo-printing technology, if you are willing to spend a bit more on
top-of-the line and archival inks.  You will not be disappionted by the
quality of inkjet, if you buy a decent printer.

Die-sub will not be obviously superior, anymore, I think.  It would
probably be a question of price / operating cost / print speed.
Die-sub is fine, but I think that it really filled a need that existed a
few years ago.  Today, the gap it plugged has been filled by inkjets.
