Which brand/model of USB sticks have you found are the most durable and reliable? What about the least durable and reliable? I mean when you get out that USB stick from 10+ years ago and it seems to work flawlessly. For example, you could read the data successfully without errors and you also could write something such as new data or an OS that successfully boots on another machine without errors.

My guess is that this is only discovered in hindsight, kind of like cars, and may not apply to new models from the same brand. At the same time, the brand probably does matter, because the brand affects QA.
