Default Pen Drive Manufacturer


I'm planning to buy a 2 GB Pen Drive, but was confused b/w Kingston and Transcend. These were the two names that I could get down upon to after asking a lot of friends.

Could you please tell me about prices of these two products, and also if anybody out of you is using it, which do you find better?
