Play.com and amazon.co.uk are usually good.

I would go with Sandisk too - the better spec (i.e more costly ones) if possible, they are faster.

7 day shop are brill, really good prices and quick, as is Play.
I have the Sandisk Extreme, bit more pricey but, faster.
It is suprising how quickly you fill them up
