Compact Flash Brands Suggestions!

What are good CF brands that you all use or have used?
Also what is the best brand or type for digital cameras as far as write speed goes?

I need 128MB or 64MB and the best band for my money! Anyone got any suggestions?

Crucial is a good brand... I always buy my memory from them (CF, DDR or SDRAM)

Motor Oil is Motor Oil ! )

I've used CF cards from;

Kingston
Lexar
PNY
Kodak
Sandisk
MrFlash
and Generics

Reviews show little difference between brands.

One thing to remember, when swapping cards between devices, make sure to Format the card in the next device.

I did NOT when changing between a Fuji and a Olympus camera, result was overlapping images

I've got four different brand smart media cards and have never noticed anything different about them. Since they're made to a specific standard, I can't imagine CF cards are any different.

CompUSA has 64-MB cards for $20 (after a *#@! $15 rebate), ends today.
