    CF is signal compatible with PC Card so you should use that. CF to PC card adapters only need to convert the interface so they can be found really cheap.

    You can find a list of ExpressCard products on the working group's site: http://www.expresscard.org/web/site/cons_wtb.jsp#adap

    Memory card companies like SanDisk and Lexar also sells ExpressCard to SD/SDHC/MS/xD adapters. Check their web sites for info.

    I don't think there is much difference all else being equal. Do note that SIIG unit does not list SDHC compatibility. I would get one that does have SDHC compatibility just to be future proof.
