I have both a D and a Ds. So I use both cards. The shortcomings of CF
cards mainly seem to be the mechanical connection. There's been much
talk about pins breaking off on devices that accept them. If the CF
socket is well designed and implemented, and you have 1/2 of a clue
about what you're doing, that doesn't seem to be much of a problem. SD
cards have a much more robust connection. On the other hand they are
probably more fragile, but due to their size it would take an effort to
snap one in half. My main complaint about the SD cards is their size.
They are physically too small. If I'm in a hurry when using the *ist-D
I can just drop a CF card in a pocket and pop an new one in the camera.
Not really recommended but I'm not too worried about losing it. I would
never do that with a SD card, it might disappear into the pocket lint.
