I recently bought the 580EX. It's a beautifully made gun which simply has every function you could wish for in a hotshoe mounted flashgun. The hi speed flash capability is very impressive, it reads subject distance and white balance settings directly from the camera, and it even compensates for battery drainage to keep the WB accurate. It produces simply the most natural looking shots I've seen from a shoe mounted gun, and the battery life is very impressive too.
I think you can still get the 550, but it may be in short supply now. I got my 580EX from 7dayshop, who were the cheapest at the time. I've bought a few items from them now, and provided you order in the morning, you usually get it next day.
