Fastest USB flash drives?

Well, it's easier than doing the research.

I wouldn't expect a definitive answer,
personal experience appreciated.

I like the Scandisk Ultra II SD/USB card. Works in a card reader (SD),
and "breaks" open to expose a USB plugin. Small and has a key chain
case. Works in SD cameras, printers with card readers, etc and also in
standard USB ports.

That's cool, currently up to 2 GB, however they fit it into that
tiny space. I also like the SanDisk Contour 8 GB, apparently very
fast, for $75 (US) total. There is what looks like a decent Patriot
16 GB flash drive for $85 total. Bought another OEM Raptor 150 GB
instead for $170 (definitely fast) so I'll have to wait. But USB
flash drive technology is improving rapidly, maybe Windows Vista is
helping drive the market.
