I've been doing audio-only with a $40 dictator from Wal-mart that fits in my pocket. It averages 150-200 MB a day. I generate hashes of each file and timestamp them so they're more likely to be useful if I ever need them for proof of something.
The thing that prompted me to start doing this was frequent arguments with close ones that often got down to "you said this", "no I didn't" type of stuff. It's oddly very assuring to have this recording. (FTR, I used it for that purpose more or less once. Although I find it useful for recording therapy sessions too.)
Combine this with speech-to-text transcription software and you get a searchable archive of your recorded interactions!
ETA: In theory. In practice, dictation software algorithms are probably not up to the task of turning noisy speech from different people into text with any reasonable accuracy.
