Thumb drive question

Almost finished with my new computer build and would like to get a Thumb drive now that I will have USB ports in the front of the tower. There are always lots of sales, just NOT sure if one is any better than another, interested in either 512MB or 1 GB size. What do you Guys think ????

 

I personally like the Lexar brand. I leave mine plugged in all the time and use it for daily data backup. I tried some other brands but found that I needed to remove the drive or I had a problem when booting up the computer.

I would go with a 1 GB size.
