From memory:

"Allegra" memory expansion board from Access Associates, list price $379.  
Contains 512K, which is expandable to 2 Megs with 1 Meg density DRAMs (and 
maybe a new PAL, which they'll sell you for $30.00).  No wait states, and
fully autoconfiguring, no pass-though bus.

"AMega" from C-LTD (the founders of CardCo),  list price $550.  Contains
1 Meg.  This one has a pass-though bus, its fully autoconfiguring, and I
don't know about whether it generates wait states or not.

"AX2000" from Comspec, list price $899, with 2 megs.  Autoconfiguring, pass
through bus, and I believe no wait states.  Comspec claims it uses enough
CMOS circuitry to allow two of these to be attached, for 4 Megs total, all
on the main Amiga power supply.

RS-Data sells a 4 Meg unit, list at $1,246, and a 2 Meg unit, listing at
$850.  These are expansion box cards, and 86 pin, not 100 pin, so they 
don't auto-configure.  The expansion box would run you another $100
or so to house a single card.  The 4 Meg card can supposedly be upgraded
to a total of 8 Megs.  

As for hard disks, a quick summary of them:

MicroForge, 20 Megs, $1,230, non-DMA, requires expansion box 
            (also sells 40 Meg and maybe others)
Microbotics, 20 Megs, $1,495, slow non-DMA, passes SCSI.
C LTD, 20 Megs, $999, non-DMA
Supra, 20 Megs, $799, DMA, not yet released
Byte-by-Byte, 20 Megs, ?????, DMA
