Transcend, Lexar or Kingston for USB drive?

Saw some branded 4gb USB sticks for £8 at Play.com

Can't work out which one to get. Which of these is better?

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.

The Kingston one is *really* small, which may or may not be useful to you.

I like the sort where you can attach the cap to a keyring instead of the
main body. Most people (according to customer reviews) seem to think
that's a design flaw rather than an advantage, and there aren't many
models like that. But I've never known a cap to come off by accident,
and the advantage is you can plug it in without having a heavy bunch of
keys hanging off your USB socket or struggling to remove it from the
keyring.

That makes it an easy choice then; The Kingston doesn't have a cap.

Mine does (but it's a plain Data Traveller, not the USB Slim.) To make
up for including the cap, Kingston left out the activity LED so I can't
tell what it is doing.
