CF is nice if you need the highest capacities, highest speed or you need to boot from it (it's an ATA drive too), but SD is fine for most media uses. Except for their use in dSLRs, I think CF is fading. I'd prefer it not to, but it is a physically large card now and it's often more expensive than an SD card. The only thing I don't like about SD is that there's three different sizes in use now, and juggling the adapters is a pain.
CF used to have two physical sizes, but the thicker went away quickly.
