The s3700 is probably the one to get (when it is available). I'd opt for
the 710 if you need something now. I'd avoid the 320 - we have
encountered the firmware bug whereby you get an 8MB (yes 8MB) capacity
after powerdown with a depressingly large number of them (they were
updated to the latest firmware too).
