Are USB flash drives (aka stick drives) or SDHC memory cards more reliable in terms of durability? Also how about USB ports on computers or memory card ports?

The only real difference is the interface to the computer.

The only real difference is the interface to the computer. The cards are more reliable in that you can't knock them or bend them like the sticks which stick out. The other day I knocked one sticking out of my car radio when I went to adjust the volume, the event caused me to veer right and crash at high speed into a power pole. The pole survived, I was killed. Served me right. -- dorayme

The depends on how they're made -

Either can be fine, if you're willing to pay about 4x more.

My impression is there's some slop (slightly out of tolerence)
in USB connectors. I've also seen the same problem with the
ethernet connectors on early MacBook computers.
