Recommend to me the BEST USB stick to get

PAP= Portable Applicatios, Linux distro (ie, Ubuntu, red hat, SUSE, etc)
Trust me, once you own own one of these, you will understand when I say, I couldn't say it any plainer :P

Ok, thanks for clearing that up! So...if i understand you correctly, you're saying the 4 GB is too small, I might as well get 16 GB?
steeladept:
How about a 4GB Kingston Datatraveler HyperX? Only about $25 (vs. $45 for the PNY). Capless design.

I actually found that my PNY device was MUCH cheaper elsewhere. Specifically I believe I found it cheapest at Amazon, IIRC. TigerDirect is a good place to look at as well.
Just found this article that suggests the OCZ Rally2 Turbo or the Super Talent 200x. I know the Super Talent one was shortlisted for me last time I was looking too, so that may be an even cheaper alternative. Additionally, Super Talent has several different form factors, many at the 200x speed. I sort of like the Pico line myself now that I see that (it wasn't available when I was looking before).

If the speeds are equivalent, I would agree, but it looks like the speed sweet-spot right now is at the 4GB (except for one bizarre option for a 64GB according to that last link I provided)
mouser:
here's the usb drive i would get, purely for its size, so it can be put on a keychain:
