Tough question.  Which one is the best, or which one can you get your hands on?

Very true, even low quality USB miners (333MH) are around $70 and say they will be delivered by Q1 2014, but end up taking till Q4
Not even worth USB mining by then

You can buy red fury USB miners (2.7 ghs) on eBay, if you look you can also find Bi Fury or Twin Fury USB sticks (around 5 ghs).

All hardware specific miners right now are designed for the SHA256 algorithm so they can mine all coins based on that. Litecoin is based on Scrypt and there's no specific hardware for scrypt coins yet. People use GPUs for those. A list of SHA256 based coins can be found here: https://cryptocointalk.com/forum/179-sha-256-cryptocoins/

Im wondering why they cost $44, it should be $5.

Do you mind if I ask the reason you bought it?

Fun or serious mining?

Actually That dont worth,
In early November those USB were 2.33$ in ebay and while price pumps then they started making money from that but thats just shit dont go to ASIC Eruptor if you want to mine litecoin you need GPU's you could check specifications in few websites, as i have some you could check this.

I plan on serious mining but not for BTC. The best coin that I've found to mine, financially speaking, is freicoin. This is based off of information from coinplorer.com and the hardware mining simulator they have available.

So this is what I used to estimate it out. Coinplorer.com  (https://coinplorer.com/Hardware/Simulate/52c41fd28cdc150ed0133b39) allows for hardware estimates with mining and shows overall gain for days mined, including your electricity cost, mining fees for pool, and cost of hardware so it shows truly how much money you make. Freicoin was the best I found for about 2 or 3 days but since the market has been somewhat stale overall, there is really no true way to tell.

I set myself up on multipool.us so it mines whatever everyone is mining at the time. So far it's not made anything for actual money but I've only had it since Sunday mining. Don't expect to see REAL money/results until 15-30 days in.
