I was wondering about this before and maybe it's just me, remembering the hell of dealing with a recover of a MS Exchange backup from tape that took me three days because of incompatibilities with the backup agents. I find that it's hard to put my trust completely into a direct to tape solution, like NetBackup or Backup exec using agents for backups.
I've always preferred backing to to disk, either locally or on a NAS share. then letting the tape backups run against that.
What are everyone's thoughts?

I prefer to backup disk to disk and let network backups backup those files to tape.
Plus, we usually keep one or two weeks of backup files available on the network just in case. Quicker than having to pull a current backup from tape.

I'd go for backup to disk first also.
But the only backups you can trust are the one's you've test restored. All the others are instances of acts of faith.
