There really isn't much of a difference overall. Some have quick apps on them and some do not. Some are coated in plastic and others are either rubberized or have a titanium coating. My Personal Favorite: SanDisk 4 gig cruzer titanium flash drive, currently $27.95 at Amazon (although you can find it cheaper.) Another great drive is the (rubberized) Corsair Flash Voyager USB flash drive. A 4 gig is $24.99 at Amazon. The SanDisk drive does have U3 quick apps on it, but the Voyager does not. The apps can be easily removed from the SanDisk drive by downloading a simple tool from their web site. (I like that drive because it has a keychain ring and so is less easily lost.) You can get drives that are bigger; a 16 gig can run you about $99 which isn't bad. If you're not in a hurry, it might behoove you to wait a month or so, as flash drive prices are dropping.
