What brand CompactFlash memory cards do you like?

I've decided to buy Innopocket's CF adapter and a CF card for my Prism. There are a lot of brands out there for CF type I cards... SansDisk, Lexar Media, Kingston, Simple Technology, Data Genie, DigiFilm, Butterfly Media, Hitachi.....
I'm tempted to create a poll asking which brand you prefer, but I'm afraid I would leave out a brand or two... so tell me... what do you have and what works with your Visor?

LEXAR MEDIA!!! You can buy in in 4x and 8x versions, meaning they are four to eight times faster than all the others! Everyone comes with a special USB adapter that enables its high speed.

The only problem is, they don't seem to be compatible with the CF adapter for the Visor.

I'm quite happy with my 16MB Memorex.

I thought I was confused before... but I'm more so now.
Where can I find which cards are going to work with Innopocket's CF adapter for my Prism? I knew they had to be type I cards... but there is more to the spec?

Snippet-

MatchbookDrive.com has a list of known good and bad cards, and Lexars definately DO NOT work (I know, I keep trying- they have been on sale at Target!)

Mr. Flash DO work, but not 100% perfectly- the first timein my FlashPlus, it was not getting read and I had to try everything again, and still, once in a while, I get an error saying no card is present (I turn of my VDx, take out the module, take out the card, reinsert everything and try again. it usually works!)
