Check out that link I sent, it goes into a lot of detail regarding wiping flash drives and why programs like Eraser don't work.

To my knowledge, a three-pass wipe on a HDD is enough to be safe in the face of even the most serious forensics. The seven-pass will cost nothing but time, but I think it's overkill and unnecessary (from everything I've read).
