If you have tape drives dedicated to the media server, you don't need SSO.
If the Exchange box will only be backing itself up, you only need a SAN
Media Server, which is a bit cheaper than a "full" Media Server.
A basic DR implication is that you would need a similar tape drive at the
recovery site connected to the recovery Exchange server (although there are
ways around this).
However, in my opinion, running Exchange and NBU Media Server on the same
box is far from ideal. There's too many ways the Media Server could
adversely affect Exchange, and vice-versa.
Have you considered backing them up over Gigabit Ethernet, perhaps even a
dedicated backup LAN ?
