Hm, I just checked - I paid 19 EUR for the two-channel ATTO ultra-scsi
controller in my B/W G3 (it came with the Apple crippled Adaptec 2930, but
that was really flaky), and 8.50 EUR for a surprisingly quiet Seagate
Cheetah 10.7 73GB disk, both plus shipping.

So, unless you need TBytes of storage, SCSI is still a viable alternative.
You'd have to take your time, and wait for an affordable offer, though.
