I have a GoPro HD and it's stem-mounted. I got mine from the US and paid £200 with a handlebar mount and SDHC card. They have recently brought our a lower spec HD model and a LCD viewing screen. The waterproof housing is good, and the handlebar mount seems durable.
Film of my commute, shot on the GoPro at 760/60 with very little vibration:

The Contour 1080 is v similar image quality wise, but due to the exposure option it can perform better in low-light than the GoPro. It's also more discreet on a helmet. The GPS option is nice, but not a deal clincher for me.
The Drift 170, looks v nice and I see they have just brought out a Stealth model. The screen is a nice bonus too.
I suspect any of the above would be fine, but for a lot of people it seems to come down to aesthetics. I suspect if I wanted to use a helmet mount, I'd have gone for the Contour or Drift.
