I have the Socket card. Works very well.

Actually the two cards are the same, both come from Sychip. There are minor
differences in the drivers, the Socket Drivers are said to "drink less
juice" from your battery.

I have seen the Sandisk card at a friends PPC, and the drivers look very
similar. It is interesting to know if there is any difference in the inside.
