Generally I tend to buy from a manufacturer I trust (Sandisk most recently). Then I look at the size of the drive in GB, physical size of the drive, and price. It is good to have a USB 2.0 drive for some low level tasks like flashing a motherboard bios or installing windows. For daily storage and file transport a USB 3 drive is nice for the additional speed.

Up until recently the Sandisk Extreme series of flash drives were pretty much the fastest ones out there and I would highly recommend them. Performance is great, build quality is awesome, but they are quite a bit more expensive then other options out there.

Also there may be some faster flash drives out there now if you do some research. I haven't shopped for a flash drive in probably 9 months so I'm not sure what's come out since then.
