Which is the best USB Stick for using on CDJs today?

Any usb stick formatted in FAT32 which is big enough to hold your tunes really. I have one of these - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Kingston-Dat...=kingston+16gb - and it works perfectly.
These are the only USB sticks I ever use. No chance of bumping into or breaking one of these bad boys:

I've got bloodly loads of 'em... They're the only ones I'll buy now.
I haven't used 'em on a CDJ, but I imagne CDJ users have had issues with bumping USB sticks that poke out too far. That won't happen with these.

If you transfer playlists to USB regularly, look for something with a decent write speed. Many of the cheap+small drives only copy at 2-3 MB/sec.

I used to use these for my cdj850s, but ditched them because they took forever to load with tunes from rekordbox (via macbook air). Very slow write times, but they are very convenient and look very sleek when plugged in.
I picked up a couple kingston data travelers instead, which seem to be a slight improvement on write speeds and look equally as sleek when plugged into the 850s.

i've actually been on the hunt for some faster sticks, but i'm not sure they exist in USB2.0 format, so the kingstons will work for now.
