That depends on what you're looking for and what you can afford.

The Body Media one actually has sensors and uses body temp, sweat and other things to calculate it (i.e. more accurate data).

The fitbit only tracks movement and makes a best guess based on your input of your ht/wt, etc.

However, the fitbit is much cheaper and provides a little more info than a standard pedometer.
