Regarding price, I just set a threshold price at camelcamelcamel.com and buy one from Amazon when that threshold is met. The unfortunate side effect is that I have way too many of these :D
Yeah, I've ended up with a fair number over the years. I'm prone to getting a new one when I find a good deal on something better than what I have.

A bit late to the party, but I've been REALLY happy with a Lexar P20; I've got the 128gb but they make 32gb/64gb as well. Really annoyingly pricy (and worse by about $10 back around Christmas when I got it) but really, really fast -- 100MBytes/sec+ write speeds on larger files, and often 200MB+ reads.

Pretty solid metal case, too.

The CZ80 sounds like it's in the same speed class, and it's a bit cheaper for the 64GB, so it might be the better option. For ~$31, I'm tempted to pick one up myself.

If what you want is speed then http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B019NNEA2I or shorter http://www.amazon.com/USB3-0-Mobile-.../dp/B017NU23P4 and an M.2 SSD is likely your best bet. You can have a 128GB M.2 SSD for $50-60 and the speed and reliability is so far beyond to these USB drives. There are even USB 3.1 enclosures.

Let me know where and when you pick one up if you do. Still haven't made a desicion!

I don't need an SSD to be honest. Just a USB 3 flash drive will do.
