I'm pretty happy with my IBM 1G microdrive. I didn't especially like the
PCMCIA sleeve (kinda thick for my pockets), so it was nice that the IBM
drive fits in a CF slot. I haven't tried the other drives, so I couldn't
tell you anything about performance / battery life. I haven't had any
problems with it though, and as long as you use it in a sensible manner
(buffer your mp3s, etc) it seems to last long enough. As regards price, I
got mine for a little less then $400 over the summer, which was a good
deal then. I haven't priced others.
