All USB drives from brands like Transcend, Kingston, Oddessey, Zion are good.

Look for the following models ::
DTI Data Traveller 1GB Kingston -Rs. 2,100 and for 512MB -Rs.1,500
Jetflash 120 Transcend 1GB -Rs.1400 and 512MB -RS.1100
Umax 1GB -Rs.Rs.19,20

I bought a Kingston DataTraveler 512 MB from a reputed dealer with bill and 5 year warranty for Rs.850/- two days back and it is working perfectly. Inside the blister pack, on the card, the MRP is shown as Rs.2695/- and the month of import is May 2006. Of course I know there is no relation between MRP and actual selling price, but I never expected this much.

At the same shop, Corsair with 10 year warranty was available for Rs.900/-

But at the same time I do not think such very long warranties have much significance nowadays when technology is changing at a fast pace. For eg., the new Seagate 750 GB HDD with perpendicular recording (PR). For info see the link below.

Opt for Transcend or Kingston. I am happy with my transcend 120 1gb stick

AFAIK, the very same thing is known by various names, viz. Pen Drive, USB Drive, Keychain Drive etc.
