Atmega Bootloader References

Anyone care to share some good bootloaders?
I'm looking mostly for atmega8 / atmega16
I found many ...
These two seems the most reliable ones!

MegaLoad U | Beta tester needed « MicroSyl | MCU Electronics projects
Anyway I haven't tested them, but either its in beta stage, or there are some bug posts on them.

How about that
V-USB - A Firmware-Only USB Driver for Atmel AVR Microcontrollers

@alexan_e
Thank you so much for the fast reply.
This is a great project. V-USB is an awsome thing!
But since I'm doing this wireless, there is no way! and its a lot easier to work out a UART and even if this was no problem,
then 2kb of flash is gone, hardware is very limited to specific situation like clock,... , isolating the whole thing for usb sounds very troubled! also programing gets limited to a USB host provider and this limits users and programming methods, like (I can't do this over a simple BT module)!

I have only used this to make a self upgradeable USBasp , so I have used the boot loader to program the chip with the USBasb firmware so that I could use it to program other AVR chips, then to update the USBasp I don't need another programmer, the bootloader can do the job!
Other than that I haven't used bootloaders in my projects.
