Media mail is slooooooooooow. I'd definetly go with UPS on this one. I'm not sure exactly why it takes so long, but I think that media mail is in a class lower than first class(what you usually get when you mail something). I think it can take something like up to 21 business days to get the package to its destination(that's 4+ weeks) versus a few days with UPS.

Ya, media mail is slow, it used to be called "book rate". UPS should be decent, and it will automatically be insured up to $100 with UPS.

media mail depends...ive gotten tons of records off of ebay through media mail, and it can either be really quick or really slow. i'd see if you can opt for a priority mail option. that way, at the most, it'll be 3-5 days.
