The only real caveat is; how FAST do you want to boot. Oh, and some older cards don't actually support IDE emulation mode (though those would be too small to be considered, anyway).

Myself, I'm going with a 4Gb card as fast as I can get (133X seems to be the max at the moment), and almost to hell with the cost. The faster, the better your boot when using HORM.

Also, it's a good idea to build your machine in a virtual machine to test it perfectly and get everything "in situ" before you move it to CF. This results in minimal changes to the CF filesystem.
