Put all the eggs in one basket, because it's easier to protect/keep track of one basket, or divide the eggs between several small baskets in case one is damaged or lost? I can see how each strategy might be advantageous depending on different situations. I've decided that I'm a lot more worried about losing a card, than having a card fail. I figure the more cards I handle the better my chances are of misplacing one.
I started out with a half dozen 1gb cards which would each hold approx 100 raw files from my 20D. Then I bought a few 2gb cards, and getting 200 shots to a card was nice. Then I bought a 5D, and all of a sudden it was like using rolls of film the cards filled up so fast . I bought a couple of 8gb cards which I get almost 500 5D raw files on, and I love it! I'm shooting weddings with a couple of 20Ds loaded with 2gb and 4gb cards, and a 5D with an 8gb card, and I usually don't have to change a card all day.
