If ultimate portability is your goal, the mini is definitely tough to beat. They weigh... like... nothing.
I actually have a second cheapie mp3 player for the gym. I just can't convince myself that carrying something worth $500 (and crushable) around heavy equipment and the rapidly scissoring foot pads of elliptical walkers is a good idea.
If you do decide to gym with it, take a cue from a friend of mine - after he crushed his first one (regular ipod) he started putting it in a "fanny pack" around his waist at the gym instead of on the arm band he bought for it.

*sniff* the idea of a crushed ipod. So sad...
