Which memory to use for saving of total values continuously?

4GB cards getting rare. 8GB seems to be the small card of choice at Staple, OfficeMax, Best Buy. Price as low as $4.95 for Kingston 8 GB SDHC, Class 4.

4GB in MicroSD - too easy to lose them if handling a lot, and then need an SD adapter anyway to read on most PCs equipped with a reader. Good if just going to plug in & leave it, like a cell phone.
