Flash drives unlike hard drives have no moving parts and so are usually more reliable as there aren't many bits to go wrong. However, they don't usually hold nearly as much information as a hard drive so if you want more than 8GB, you'll probably have to have a hard drive one.
I've had a creative Zen sleek for two and a half years and although it has the odd moment of madness, it seems pretty good and I've dropped it a lot of times.
