When you get a compact flash drive, you can probably get a generic one and have the same results as if you bought a more expensive drive. Flash memory technology is not a very difficult thing to create. All companies can do it at the same high level. If you buy a drive that is more expensive, you are probably just paying the extra money because people will recognize the brand name on the drive.
