(Note! this is only my opinion)
Take these things into consideration.
Both:
Follow MMC 4.x standard.
Are Dual Voltage.
Carry a 5 year warranty.
Same general specs.
Transcend (1GB MobileMMC):
Can be bought for $60 shipped from datamem.com
Has an endurance of 1,000,000 Read/Writes (according to the datasheet).
6MB/Sec Transfer rate.
ATP (1GB MobileMMC):
Is a bit more expensive ($90 w/o Shipping is the lowest I found)
Has (up to) 26MB/Sec transfer rate.
Has an endurance of 100,000 (10 times less than Transcend)
Is water/esd/dust proof.
Personally I don't think the extra money is worth the ATP because how often am I going to submerse the card? Dust proof?...I'll leave that one alone. The transfer rate is not so amazing after I was told I read it wrong (I had thought it said 256mb/s for ATP)...but the 770 can not take full advantage of that either way. For most of us...those who extended their RootFS would be more interested in longer endurance, especially for swap.
