Apparently a lot of them have really horrible random read and especially random write performance. That probably doesn't matter too much for how most people use the drives (moving large files), but would make them less useful as a disk replacement.
I personally like the SanDisk Extreme (http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Extreme-Flash-Drive-sSDCZ80-03...). Lexar Triton is also good.
The 32GB+ ones are the only drives with enough chips to have full write speed; the 16GB drives usually don't have the full number of chips, so write speeds are 50%.
