Default Micro SD Cards for the Hero

Was wondering a few questions about upgrading my memory card.
I was looking at getting a 16gb Sandisk Class 2 = $30 ish

Anyone know of any higher or cheaper prices?

Whats the highest class the hero can hold?

I plan on upgrading to the EVO, I know it holds 32gb but which class would be better?

Unless you want to pay more for your MicroSD than for your phone I would just stick with the 16GB, the 32 costs $200. as for the class most people use a class 6 card I think there may be some higher speed classes but that would also incur higher costs.

There's a 16GB Class 10 from Kingston out there for about $100, that's the fastest you'll find.

Here's a LINK to Amazon for a TopRam 16GB Class 4 for about $40 shipped. It's good middle-ground until the 32GB cards drop in price.

8gb card serves me pretty good on the hero, fast access too.

Been using a class 2 16gb card for a few months now and I can't say I mind the speed at all. The price was right (around $25 at Amazon on sale) and it hasn't given me any problems. The only time I really notice the speed is when loading up my music collection. Other than that...I can't complain.

However, I don't run Apps2sd. If you're planning to do that, you might want to pay extra and go for a higher speed card.
