I have a dustpatrol sensor brush. Works fine for me, never used anything else, (but then I have self-cleaning sensors (550D), unlike the 5D). Is not expensive and easy to carry on a trip. I ordered online, but don't recall exactly from where, maybe http://www.micro-tools.de/

I spin the brush rapidly and blow air through it with a rocket blower before using it. Afterwards, I spin and blow air through it to clean out the dust. So far I didn't have to clean the brush in any other way (dustpatrol gives an elaborate cleaning protocol). I was also careful to never touch it to avoid grease on the bristles.
