Ive been looking at options for allowing users to add an image to a node type that they can create. The problem is that two users might both try to upload an image called "bobs_store.gif" - should be rare, but its not out of the question. So I want them to be able to use personal directories of some sort. Doing a little research lead me to IMCE, and possibly use it with the CCK module. Is anyone else doing this ? Im sure there is.
Also, when the user chooses to browser, I dont want them to be able to see the folders of other users.
Is IMCE what I need ?
If I use an image upload module that doesnt provide for personal directories, wont there be a possibility of user1 overwriting an image of the same filename uploaded by user2 ?
suggestions needed

It works for me
I use IMCE (but not CCK) and it sounds like it would do what you need. By default, users have their own directories (although you can override this, and I usually do...)
You can also setup per user
You can also setup per user folders with the http://drupal.org/project/imagefield module as well (imagefields are cck fields that can be added to content type like other cck fields).
