SD card recommendations ?

Does anyone have any recommendations of an SD card that I can boot the
Beagle from? There is a totally baffling array of SD and MMC cards on
eBay, and I have no idea which ones will be bootable on the Beagle.
I'm looking for an 8 GB just to be sure it is big enough, but probably
a 4 GB would work fine.

Thanks in advance for any useful info!

I use a Toshiba 2GB Micro SD with a Toshiba Micro SD adaptor. Works fine
for me, but I am not heavily into Linux at the moment, booting my own
RTOS.

I like (use) Sandisk Ultra II Plus series. This is the one that has USB
on one end and SD on the other. Makes copying images from the PC to the
card very easy.

Although I currently just use the 2 GB version, here is a link to a
review of the 8 GB:
