Default What memorycard is to prefer?

Hi all!
What memorycard is to prefer?

I know it is microSD, but there's so many different microSD's out there so how will I know which one to choose? (classes, speed a.s.o.)

If we don't care about memory size (4-8-16GB) what is the very best to use?

Best memory?
Best memory/$?
What memory NOT to use?
Best regards /Robban

I picked up an A-DATA 8gb Class 6 microsd card (US$35) to use once I get the Touch Pro. I haven't used it yet, but I also have the 4gb version (US$15) which works great.

This is a totally personal opinion. You will find that among us professional geeks, we have brand preference.

When It comes to Solid State Media, I always pay a little more the get a SanDisk item from a reputable dealer.

Every Card CF or SD or my MicroSD, has been SanDisk Manufactured and I've never been disappointed.

OK guys, thx for your input!

@JimmyMcGee: Yeah, I too has allways payed a little extra when choosing between some things, in most cases it's clearly that you get what you payed for, I mean, even if you look beyond brand names a.s.o. there often is a difference between the cheap and the more expensive ones.

But my reson for this Q was foremost to clarify the speed and class issue, is someone better then the other, so except brand, what more do I need to consider?

I bought a Scandisk 8gb. Play.com have them for £16.99 with free delivery.

I am also looking for a microSD card for my future friend Raphael.

I want the fastest 8 GB MicroSD card available that can be used in Raphael. €10 more or less, I dont care but I dont want to pay for overkilling the spec.

What MicroSD do you recommend, if not this one that I have found:
SanDisk Mobile Ultra 8GB microSDHC
http://www.i4u.com/full-review-447.html

Would it work fine in a Raphael?
Have anyone used it in an other HTC?
Ciao

Simple:

Dont buy a memory that don't have "C" logo with class number in it.
If it doesn' have it, there's probably nothing to be proud of.

Currently you can get a decent-prized "class 6" memory with 4 GB or 8 GB capacity.

Class 6 is faster than Class 2 and Class 4 of course.

Cheers,
