Should I get a Compact Flash or SD First?

Compact Flash or SD Memory??
I have a Toshiba e755, and am not sure which media type I should pick for extra memory.

Would the SD flash use less batteries than compact flash?
Would I want to save either slot for future expansions? I already have built in wireless lan, but plan on getting a wireless keyboard (not sure what slot that would need).

As far as I know, Compact Flash has up to 1 GIG, and SD has 512mb... right now I'm leaning towards Compact Flash since it has a lot more space for less $$, but if there's a good reason to get SD... that'd be nice to know.

Do most digital camera's use compact flash?? I guess that would be good to know too. Thanks for the help!

actually, nowadays most digital cameras do NOT use compact flash. many of the manufactures are leaning towards SD. Casio, hp, kodak, panasonic, all of these use SD. Canon still uses CF, as do some Vivitar models, and some other lesser brands. but cf is still the cheapest and largest capacity type of card out there.
