Transcend JetFlash Lexar JumpDrive Kingston Data Traveler Mini Slim At that price (ie cheap) they'll all be the same tech. All three are top brand names. So go for the one that looks either sturdiest or nicest.

So go for the one that looks either sturdiest or nicest. Last time I tested 2-4GB sticks I found a huge variation in 4KB random write rate even between the cheap sticks. It's not predictable by brand though, and if you're not concerned about the speed of writing a lot of small files then it doesn't matter much. -- John Jordan

True, but Kingston are often slower at the low end price category. The only way to be sure if you can't test them yourself is look at reviews/benchmarks of exact models you consider, my above generalization about Kingston is only that, not solid enough to pick an alternative without any data about how that alternative performs.
