Which mp3 player to get?

So I'm looking to get an mp3 player next week. I ideally wanna get either a 1GB or 2GB, and my max spending limit is going to be roughly $150.

What doth thou recommend? Anything from iPod to Zen is fine, I just want to know which is the one that will be durable and long lasting.

Get the 4gb nano, silver is a drab shitty colour and 2gb doesn't give you enough room to move. Also, consider the old nanos Apple has on sale right now - I think they have old 2gb nanos for $100 or something? Check the web store under specical deals. iPods shit all over the competition once you realise you'll never actually need a voice recorder and half-assed FM radio support.

If you want a microdrive-based player, you can probably get a 4gb for that price now.. I think it's the Creative Zen Vision M Micro Nano :W Professional Edition +Photo that you want in that case.
