Very common. I suggest the SiliconSystems Inc. 1GB card Juniper
uses. All  of the 1GB cards we have from Juniper (so far) are
SiliconSystems, but smaller cards come from SanDisk, STI, and
SiliconSystems. 

I make no promises on Juniper support if third party cards are used,
but, since they are not specially marked in any way, I doubt that even
that would be a problem.

Speaking only as myself and not for my employer.
