I have the super duper case.
Pros:
1. Well made case
2. Snugly fits the iPod
Cons:
1. I don't like the belt clip
2. The slit on the top of mine is quite narrow, and the headphones sometimes come out of the jack.
3. Fairly expensive
Overall, I'd happier with some sort of sleeve case, and a remote (if one ever appears)

I have one and like it. It's tough, well-made of good materials. The slit at the top for accessing ports and lock switch is narrow, but minimizes the risk of exposing them to dust, rain, etc. I haven't had any problem with the earbud cord getting dislodged, and I like the built-in pocket for stashing the earbuds.
You could also check out the 2 neoprene cases offered by Marware at http://www.marware.com/ I have a Sportfolio II case for my iBook that is excellent, so I'd imagine that their iPod cases are also well-made.

I have the neoprene case from
Everything iPod. While it's not quite as fancy (or as expensive) as the SFBags one, I feel that it protects my iPod well. The fit is nice and snug. There is a cutout on top for the headphone jack. Two vercroed flaps beside it allows the user access to both the firewire port and the hold switch without removing the case itself.

I've got the SuperDooper and I like it a lot. Very snug, well-crafted, good looking. The headphone pocket is nice. I like the fact that the clip can be removed and attached easily but the easy swivel means my iPod swings around on my waist while I'm jogging. Doesn't seem to harm it, but it's distracting. Also, the slit at the top is narrow, but it's not a problem and probably helps protect the jacks. Overall, I'd recommend it.

I have the standard iPod case from sfbags and I've been very impressed. The only slight niggle I have is that you can't open the flap at the top if your headphones are plugged in.
The belt clip is quite good, and I like it as you can remove it when your not using it. The case is a nice snug fit, but not too tight, and the neoprene lining keeps it safe from any bumps that it might encounter.
I was also very impressed by the service of sfbags. I live in England, and, although shipping was expensive, it arrived well packed, and swiftly. 
I hope this helps you decide which case to get.
