I've heard that the Sansa Clip has pretty darn good sound quality, especially if you upgrade the headphones, and the small form factor is great for running. Another Sansa product I like is the Fuze, because it has an MicroSD slot and can be expanded later if you need.
FYI, the selection of non-DRM MP3's on Puretracks seems to have improved vastly in the past 6 months, so it is easier to get content for non-iPods than it used to be.
