Remember CF's have NO moving parts, unlike the micro drive! So are less susceptible to damage from "hard handling". Some of the cheaper Mdrives have been known to fail very easily, but the Hitachi/IBM drives are well built. I have several "smaller" CF cards (4 x 256 Mb, 1 x 512Mb and a 64Mb -a freebie from Canon!) as per an earlier suggestion, to avoid having all my eggs in one basket!
I typically get 101 images at highest Jpeg quality on a 256 card, but just 39 at RAW.
