Extra power adapter

I'm looking for an extra power adapter for my powerbook. I'm wondering if anyone has opinions on any of them other than the apple branded ones. Ideally, I'd love one that had a retractable cord, but I think that may be a pipe dream.

Does anyone have any they would recommend or warn against?
 
The current Apple 65w Power Adapter is compact and has a handy pair of pop-out retainer clips for winding the cable. Not nearly as handy as a self-retracting cable, but as far as I know nobody makes these for any brand of laptop.
The 30w yoyo adapter from the previous generation will also fit and provide power, but will be much slower to charge the laptop. They're also nowhere near as convenient.
 
I could not find another power adapter for my PB. You can get the Apple one, either used or new. I have one at home and the other at work, saves me from transferring it around.
 
The apple adapters are actually very small compared to the adapters on many PC laptops. I don't find it a chore to carry around.

I just buy used Powerbook adapters off eBay. They're kinda cheap.
 
I don't have personal experience with them but have heard good things about the various products of iGo. (I have bought several of the white bricks though - I wish I could get the iGo here.)
