Now that I've got the mkIII I want to get some decent cards to go along with it. I've been using Ridata 8GB CF cards and an A-Data 4GB class 6 SDHC card.

I'm not terribly impressed with either. I still have some 2GB sandisk cards, an extreme III and ultra II. I was thinking of getting 2 4GB CF cards and 1 4GB SD card. That way I could use the others as backups and spares.

I'm curious if anyone has used any other brands other than Sandisk and Lexar that has had positive experiences?

This is where you should look:

Gives a good idea, note that you will not see a HUGE speed difference between most of the ones near the top.

I have some Sandisk Ultra's and Extreme's but just bought a Lexar UDMA and a UDMA reader. Wow what a difference in download speed, really suprised me. Also search for Rob Galbraith (i think), he has somoe good review/comparisons.

yeah I know. I read RGs site, which spurred on my thought process. But I wanted to get some real world feedback too.
