I've heard the stories about blinkies mesmerizing drunk drivers but I'm not aware of any studies to back that up.
While I don't have a problem with a blinking rear light, I have dynamo taillights on a few of my bikes. They are made in Germany or for the German market and don't blink but I feel safe with them. The B&M Toplight Line Plus is an excellent light, but for the money the Herrmans H-Track is hard to beat. It is big and bright and the standlight lasts a long time after the bike stops moving. (Pudge - I got mine from Intelligent Design Cycles: http://www.intelligentdesigncycles.com/shop/herrmans-h-track.html ) Most of the dynamo taillights also have a large reflector built in. That another plus, because makes them highly visible to cars approaching from the rear.
