I'm thinking about trying the full instead of embedded
install on WRAP/ALIX devices, on compact flash. With increased
sizes and better flash it seems a year or a couple is a reasonable
lifetime to expect in a domestic usage pattern these days.
Have any of you made especially good/bad

SLC or MLC CF? Any vendors to recommend, or to stay away from?
in theory SLC is going to be more reliable, speed probably doesn't matter.
avoid small vendors and ebay as there's a huge number of counterfeit
SLC, since storage isn't the most important factor. It gives better
performance (a nice bonus, since it's also not primary) and more importantly
it gives a longer lifetime, since fewer cells are over written with each
write.
FYI,
Although not specifically about CF, I found this article
