No difference. Avoid all of them ;-)
I just don't like Sony very much since they push their proprietary stuff
(Memory Stick, ATRAC ...)
So far I have always been able to get cheaper CF cards, since there is
more competition.

There is also memory stick pro duo. Duo is just a smaller version of
memory stick and all other capabilities remain the same.

According to http://www.memorystick.com the strictly theoretical maximum
transfer speed for all seems to be 160Mbps. For memory stick pro the
*minimum* write speed is 15Mbps (DVD-quality video is 9Mbps) and the
theoretical maximum capacity is apparently 32GB.

According to http://www.sandisk.com/retail/ext-msp.asp, the minimum
write speed for pro is 9Mbps, so take your pick.

shows a 2GB memory stick at GBP 200 and 4GB at GBP 721.
