To me the best is, Transcend CompactFlash (120x), I have used them for 2 years starting with 45x to 80x now 120x so far  no problem at all.

Sandisk has been very good to me.  Kingston Elite Pro's, too.

I have a Sandisk Ultra II 2GB and a Lexar 133X 2GB. The Sandisk has obviously been around longer than the Lexar, but I haven't experienced problems with either. Sandisk's Extreme III cards are also said to be very good - the only reason that I bought the Lexar Pro 133X over an Extreme III is that noone had the Extremes in stock when I needed to buy another 2GB card. You can't go wrong with either brand, or the other well knowns for that matter.

2Gb Ultra-2 at Costco for $99.99    in Canada might help with your decision.

Twin Mos 140x 2 GB Compact Flash cards are 64.95 at newegg.com. Work great so far and quick shipping as well.
