Is there anything in particular to look for when buying a USB CompactFlash Card Reader?

I have found three and other than price I can't see any difference in features. Does anyone have any recommendations or have experiences with these three?

Thank you kindly.

Make sure that it is CF Type II compatible, . . . not just Type I.

SanDisk cardreaders have always worked fine for me. Their CF reader retails for $30.

When I was in the COMDEX last week, I saw a 6-in-1 USB card drive
which supports SMC, SD, MMC, MS and Type I/II CD and Microdrive.
According to the exhibitor I spoke to, this card drive will be
available on late Dec. this year. They has Fry's as their major
west coast distributor. Retail price is around $65.
