Which one should I use

I'm President of my college Web Radio station and we're expanding into online videos and broadcasting those videos through our own on-campus television network.

Right now I currently use the video features on my HP r927, my vp uses his canon powershot sd1000 and my secretary uses his camera built into his macbook.

For our needs (online videos and the same videos being broadcasted on television) what should I use: the flip video ultra or the Aiptek go-hd? Or is there another camcorder that I should use? Someone help!

For online videos, either would work just fine. But for TV. Eck. Neither frankly. And any video you take with a point and shoot will be VHS quality at best with mono sound. I'd be investing in a nice miniDV rig with external mic jacks so you can hook up a shotgun mic for more directed audio recording. You don't have to spend an arm and a leg (you can invest in the Canon ZR800 for aroudn $185-200). You can do much better than a $99 camcorder for the lowest common denominator. And you'll get much better quality and an optical zoom to boot.

Do you recommend any HDD camcorders? Deadlines are also a problem and miniDV can take forever to upload to a computer.

Honestly, I don't. This is because most are still recording to MPEG2. Now, if you're planning on investing in HD, then getting one that shoots in AVCHD is much better, but miniDV is still the best for anyone doing any kind of editing. IMHO, that is.
