Best MP3 player

Okay, so. My girlfriend wants an iPod. And I'm like "NOWAI!" but she won't listen to what I have to say about apple. I throw out other suggestions like the Sandisk Sansa e200 and the Creative Zen. Could you guys (w4ch) help with some reasons why apple sucks and what she should get? (Budget isn't quite a problem.)

I bought an iPod because every other Mp3 player I saw was inferior to my needs. I needed as much space as I could get (the 40 gig was the largest thing out at the time), I don't use funky ass file formats (all my music is in Mp3 form), and I thought the other Mp3 players out at the time were ugly as hell.
