What is the best USB stick to put on my keychain? It needs to be rugged and durable like the metal keys that accompany it on a keychain. I have had a Cruzer Micro 128 on my keychain for 2 years and it has done well. after 128, they changed the design and it does not look as durable.
Any suggestions?

Im using a micro but mine is 512. I work on a farm and it never leaves my pocket. It has now been washed in the washer twice and still works fine. It also has the end crushed closed, I bent it back out with a screw driver and it still works. I cant say that it is the best because i have never tried anything different but it has worked great for me and it is very very durable.
I have been wearing mine on my keychain for several months. It's protected by its rubber skin. The cap fits tighly enough that it doesn't fall in the pocket. It also comes with two spare skins and caps. Sandisk also includes an adequate encryption program. I don't know about speed since I haven't tested it against other USB sticks. I am eying their 2 GB micro as my next purchase.
I pretty much have the same thing only in the 1GB capacity.
It's been a great drive and Radio Shack has it on sale right now for just 40 dollars US!
You could check the sandisk cruzer titanium - a few of my friends have them, and I haven't heard any complaints.
I've got one of the new cruzer micros, I like it because it's tiny and doesn't add much bulk to my keychain.
Cruzer Titanium. Really solid. Except it gets really hot after it has been in, even after 2 mins.
