8GB Flash Drive Suggestions?

Hey guys, yours truly again.

Recently as some of you know, my kitten (Halo) knocked over my Xbox 360 (3' drop) with my 4GB flash drive in the front of it.

Xbox 360 is fine, but the flash drive is just about dead. Its LED is broken, I have to bend the rear of it up to get Windows to detect it (and continue holding it otherwise it thinks it disconnected.

Anyways, I'm looking for a new Flash Drive, preferably 8gb since I did run into some ISO's that wouldn't fit on the 4gb (Fedora DVD ISO, OSx86 ISO's, etc).

I'm currently looking at this, but want your feedback as well. The reviews on this one look good, but still will look at any other options.

One small thing, try to keep things below a total cost of $25. :)

Fast/Slow Transfer speeds?
Sturdy, durable, flimsy?
Cheap, Pricey?

Oh and congratulations on Power User.

Here is the one I have been using for 90 days. It's the fastest and best made I have seen personally. I love it. You can get it for about $40.
