Depends what you do with it.
Hard disc ones have moving parts, so if I was to go jogging or exercising
using it, I would expect its hard disc is more likely to go wrong. They are
obviously going to store a lot more tracks, but depends on how many tracks
you want. A year later, there are still unlistened to tracks on my 20 gig
Archos Gmini 220 player...
Flash are less memory for equivalet prices, and I have actually heard of
maximum amount of times you can write a piece of flash, that it slows down
after so many accesses, but not I don't have the tech info on that. Its
worth bearing in mind, flash is newer technology and its weakness might
well have been glossed over, one of my friends has annecdotal evidence of
slowdown though...
