buying Apple Powerbook or iBook, opinions?

We're thinking about buying an Apple laptop. For portability reasons it will be either 12.1 ibook(900 MHz G3, CDRW/DVD) or a 12.1 powerbook (867MhZ G4, CD-RW/DVD). The spec sheets seem mostly identical to me. Educational pricing makes the Powerbook $200 more.
Is the G4 processor worth it? I'll use it for code devolopment, Mathematica work, and technical writing (LaTeX and Adobe Illustrator). My wife will use it for digital photography and writing Appleworks stuff for her class.
Do both machines travel well? Are they both durable?
thanks!
NT
