The reason this howto uses mkinitramfs is because that is the default tool for Debian at this time.
Now having said that, I'm all for exploring the options so that we can see what works best for USB and other removable media.
As for squashfs and unionfs, I haven't worked with them yet but you can see examples of how to use cramfs and Yaird in two other howtos I've written.
Cramfs example at: http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/179
Yaird example at: http://feraga.com/node/30
One of these days I need to consolidate all this info into the Base Configuration section, but I just haven't gotten to it yet.
Know of any other good examples to add?
