I kind of in the same boat. I bought a 20 gig 4G ipod about a year and a half ago and according to the diagnostic msgs i've been getting from Itunes the HD is corrupted and every place I've looked online says that the error# i'm getting basically means my Ipod is and expenisive paperweight.
Some of the things I have been thinking about when getting a new one is that even though I have more than 30 gigs of music. Probably could fill up an 80 gig one if I wanted too. I doubt I really ever listen to more than 8 gigs, and I definitley don't listen to more than 8 gigs in a one week span. So I'm thinking of going with a nano instead, and updating it more often rather than having all my music on me at once. Plus the nano is much more convenient in the gym.
I'm also considering not getting an ipod because of my last experience, but even though my last one broke I still really liked it.
Might also wait for the next Gen of Ipod to come out, hoping that the touch screen thats being rumoured actually comes through, and just getting a cheap flash player in the mean time.
