I have the Jetboil flash and I love it. Before that I used a CampingGaz Turbo 270. Nothing beats having everything in a nice tidy compact set. I've used many a stove (MSR whisperlite, esbit, coleman white gas) and canister stoves are by far the easiest, least fussy stoves to work with. My Piezzo igniter still works on my Jetboil, but I carry a mini bic anyway. If 1 liter is a bit big for you, get the Jetboil Zip, same stove as the flash with a few oz less capacity cup. Even in sub-0, high altitude (+10,000 el) my Jetboil flash has got it done. I've never tried anything except boil water....so if you're making a soufleit, go with a dutch oven. Otherwise you can do a lot worse than a Jetboil.
