Hello:
I use the Marantz recorders with the flash drive. They work well, but you can only set them to wav or mp3, no aiff. The other draw back is that they only have xlr inputs, so if you are using a stereo mic with dual phone jacks or a stereo mini, you need to adapt. I also use a marantz which records to a CD. This is really my favorite tool, but it is not portable even when it is a field recorder. Takes both xlr and phone jacks. I take it into the field, but I would not travel with it. Finally, I also have the smallest and best tape based sony DAT recorder which I have had forever. It sounds great, is very easy to use.

The question is always:
How portable?
How much $$?
For what purpose (to record what)?

Anyway

Check out this website too for a number of interesting options:
