MemPlug vs. HS Backup Module

Which one of these should I get?
I want the most reliable, easy-to-use backup, not only of data and native applications, but also of third party applications.
I currently own several 64MB SmartMedia cards, but don't really know that I need that much memory. The HS Backup Module is a little cheaper and it advertises that it backs up EVERYTHING on the PDA, which is what I want. MemPlug discussions and ads that I have seen talk only about backing up data, which if true would eliminate it from consideration by me.
Any thoughts? All are appreciated.
Thanks.

MemPlug backs everything up, then only backs up what has changed. You can also use PIMover to copy everything it may miss for whatever reason to the SM card.

MemPlugs also allow you to expand the functional memory of your device in other ways as well! (And believe me, you'll be surprized how fast you can fill 64 MB!)

I highly recommend the HS Module; the memplug has failed on me several times. The HS module can be found very cheap online or from Office Depot.

Try the new Wintec Modules - They have a really cheap backup module ($20 I think) and for a little more you can have some flash memory too, to store some more odd programs, dictionary, etc...

I love my Memplug! Plus, with the new version of PiBackup, you can have multiple backups on one card, or even backup multiple PDAs to the one module. I wouldn't give up my Memplug (or its 128MB of CF ) for anything!
