Well, I'm not actually suggesting you forget Zip drives, but I'd like to 
encourage people to comparison shop.  This is what I've been able to find 
out so far ...

Iomega(R) Zip drive - Street price $199.95   SCSI drive Weight: 1 lb
29 ms access time    up to 1 MB per second transfer rate
Uses 25 MB and 100 MB cartridges (they look like floppies)
Street price $14.95 - $19.95 per cartridge (100 MByte)
Availability: backordered most places by 6-8 weeks

Syquest(R) EZ Drive - Street price $207.99 SCSI-II drive Weight: 2.3 lb
13.5 ms average access time up to 2.4 MB per second transfer rate 
Uses 135 MByte cartridges Street price $17 - $19.99 per cartridge (135 MByte)
Availability: backordered 4 - 6 weeks (but who knows)

I'm not connected with either company.  I did the research for my own 
information and figured I might as well share it with others.  If you 
have further information to add, be my guest.
