iPod
Pros: Available in an 80GB for more storage, lots of accessories, good support through Apple, easy to use software.
Con: Can't usually find any cheaper than what Apple offers.
Â
Zune:
Pros: Larger screen for viewing videos and photos, fair amount of accessories, radio built in, sharing via wi-fi.
Cons: Microsoft product (:-P), pretty new so there might be some problems that'll arise that aren't known about. Software is bloated and slow.
Â
Zen:
Pro: Very compariable to the iPod, fair amount of accessories and can usually be found for cheaper if you search online.
Cons: I've experienced problems with the older software, which I'm sure they've fixed by now. Not quite as pretty (IMO) as the iPod.

I don't have any experience with the Zune, but Creative makes great mp3 players. I have a musician friend who swears by his Zen and can explain why it sounds so good better than I can, but suffice it to say that they put out good sound. Creative also has a patented method for avoiding head-slaps, which are a concern with any portable HDD-based technology.
iPods, on the other hand, are more concerned about trendiness than quality with their inferior sound, god-awful AAC codec, massively overpriced accessories, and its-easy-because-it-can't-do-half-what-the-competition-does software. Stay away from iPods and you'll be OK.
