If you are the boss, used 1G FC is quite a bit cheaper (and faster) than 
used 1G Ethernet.
However, most bosses refuse to use used stuff;  and some people think that 
commodity Ethernet will scale faster than commodity FC, so it's better to 
just run Ethernet everywhere.   (these people may be right; my point still 
stands that 1G fibre channel, bought used, gives you better storage 
performance per dollar than 1G Ethernet)
