I have the 790 with the Ikelite housing. I picked the 790 for the 3" LCD screen. I like the setup a lot. I picked the Ikelite housing after my last canon housing flooded and ruined my camera.
Check out this link for more than you ever wanted to know about Canon compact choices 
fl - did you determine why the housing flooded? It's almost never due to the housing itself, but almost always user error.
I've had Canon housings for ten years with never a flood or a problem. I've just added two more to my line up.
Ikelite housings are fantastic and can offer options that a Canon housing won't offer. For me, they are not worth the extra cost or extra bulk. You've got to weigh the options and decide what suits your needs the best

For the SD1100 there is also the FSD 770 Fantasea Housing. It is less expensive and a lot less bulky that the Ike, and much better made than the Canon. It has metal controls, a 200' depth rating, metal latches. There is a full range of add on lenses and filters to fit it. It comes with a year of flood insurance as well.
We also tried it with the new Canon SD1200 and it fits fine.
