If they want a dedicated unit, the Zoom H2<http://www.samsontech.com/products/productpage.cfm?prodID=1916&brandID=4> gets very high marks. It's a bit larger than the units you can get at Staples, but the recording quality is near studio quality. It's a very versatile unit that offers omni an uni-directional recording as well as an external microphone. It comes with a 512MB SD card, but that can be replaced with a larger one later. I have a friend who uses one and she swears by it (she's a professional musician). Just another option.
