I'm looking to get a pair of new flash carts for a pair of DS-Lites.
I've read so much conflicting information about compatibility that I thought I should ask here, giving my specific requirements.

I want at least 1GB (8Gbit) capacity (which rules out the current DS-X)

I don't mind flashing the DS's (as long as it doesn't affect any future options).

I don't really care about GBA game compatibility.

I want the best NDS game & homebrew compatibility and ease of use.
Normal save support must be "transparent", Realtime save would be nice (but not a necessity).

The options I am considering at the moment are:-

M3-lite-pro (with either PassCard or Flashme)
SC-lite-rumble (with either PassCard or Flashme)
DS-Link (with Flashme).

I have a GBA Cart (CF Supercard) so flashing the DS for DS-Link (with loan of a passme) is pretty easy.

Which of the above solutions should give me the best compatibility etc ? or are there any other options I should be considering ?

I know about the NinjaPass X9TF but have yet to see any compatibility reviews of it (I presume no-one has got one yet).

I need the units pre-xmas (in UK).

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

They're all good, but if you don't care about GBA compatibility, M3 costs too much.

If you really don't care at all about GBA, Supercard Lite Rumble. However, this will cause some DS homebrew to not work. I think it's only things like DSLinux, but if that really bothers you, get the Supercard Lite. If you find that you kinda want GBA compatibility, SClite runs around 85% of GBA games with no problems. Any M3 option is a bad choice for the information you've given.

Saving is very good on the supercard series. If you can give up all GBA and just a couple homebrew programs, SCliteRumble is your best option. Plus it won't wreck your wallet by buying two of them, should be less than 60 quid all said and done, SCLRs, MicroSD cards, and p&p.
Setup: Onyx DS Lite, CycloDS + Kingston 8GB MicroSDHC; Camo GBA Micro, EZIV + Kingston 2GB MicroSD
