GC memory cards, i need a new one Options

[unitself]

GC'ers step up!
I need to get a new memory card and I was wondering what people thought about the various brands that are out there.
I saw a couple of neko (sp?) ones for $10 and $20.
I also saw this weird memory stick one. It looked like a little GC mem card wrapper for a memory stick. Very odd. Are they any good? Is it reliable? Is this thing made so I can download stuff off the web, save it to the mem stick, then put it into my GC?
Maybe just stick with the Nintedo variety...
Of course, there is always that sweeeeet PSO EP3 mem card over at lik-sang...


side note: I already own a MadCatz 16X card and I have never lost any info with it.

If it is for PSO data I will trust nothing other than a genuine Nintendo Memory Card 59. I will not go any higher because the only data I will ever store on it is PSO data. I will not store/use it for anything else incase some poor written game corrupts the data on it. I will be forever lost~~~

Having said that, if it is for something other than PSO then I like my USB memory card. It was an import (I believe made in Europe or UK...not sure exactly) that works great for saving almost anything and everything I want...then I can back it up to PC incase I ever have a data loss problem.

It is a 64megaBit (8 megaByte) memory card that has a USB port on it and software to download the information saved on it...including copy protected data that you can not back up any other way~~~like PSO data (but you would never be able to use it online because the server timestamps the data and knows if it has been tampered with or reverted to a previous save.

Like I said, I will trust none other than a genuine Memory Card 59 for PSO data...
The earlier models of the 251 had a problem with the compression algorithm and sometimes currupted save data. Many PSO players found this out the hard way.

Personally, I have many 59 cards and use 4 of them total for PSO. One HORI memory card for EP3 (we all know why)! (2 memory cards for US PSO (retired) and 2 memory cards for PSO+ (1 for challenge and 1 for level up characters)

(I have never lost (corrupted) any PSO data)

Okay, I have just about written a story here...so
Good luck and choose wisely (especially with your PSO data)
