I've always carried 3-4 2Gb or 4Gb CF cards for the 400D, so I guess 2-3 8Gb or 16Gb would be the go? 8Gb 30Mb/s cards are about $25 each on Ebay from Aus stock.
I have a few 16Gb SanDisk Extreme's 60 mb/s and a 90mb/s. One died on me late last year but they are generally very reliable. I picked mine up in HK they were a lot cheaper there than here in Aus or online.
Agree if you are not shooting for high frames per/s then a 30mb/s card might be right for you.
