I think you'll find that all thumb drives will work, but you'll likely
need to let Disk Utility format it as a Mac Extended volume. Last
Christmas our son gave me a Memorex Travel Drive (512 Mb). When I
plugged
it into our G3 iBook it showed up, but reported in as formatted for
Windows. (When you purchase a hard drive it will likely come formatted
for the Dark Side, too, but can easily be made to see the [Mac]
light!)
Just keep in mind if you format the thumb drive for Mac, it won't be
usable on Windows unless they are running software to let it see Mac
volumes (unlikely in the real world). If you format for Windows, then
both the Mac and Windows will be able to use the drive.
