I used the GoPro and the Contour HD. I liked the Contour better because I think it's neater and easier to mount usefully. I don't have any of the footage, but I'd happily use those all day. I think you can't really go wrong with any of them.

...They don't tend to handle fast movement very well...

The ContourHD 1080 can do 720 at 60fps! (though costs the same 15min per GB as shooting in 1080).

I can vouch for the ContourHD being awesome! I don't actually have any loadable footage at the moment ... other half's still editing ... but yakboy on SCUK uploaded a rush he's put together (and had to compress a bit to upload so the quality here isn't quite what you get in the flesh!) ... check it out.

Rolling Shutter has nothing to do with how fast a camera can record fps at. All cameras with a CMOS sensor will suffer to varying degrees.
