Default Buying a new SD card for Android

im going to buy myself a new SD specificly i want to make sure it runs OK with android.

Its going to be either

Kingston MC MicroSD 16GB (class 10 i think)
or
Kingston MC MicroSD 8GB (class 6 i think)

What is the difference between classes and is anyone using this cards. How is android running on it. Which one to buy. Im willing to buy 16GB class 10 but 8GB is half the price i dont need 16GB but its class 10. IM not sure how theese classes work.

Class is only good for write speed. high class doesn't always go well with Android. My class 2 run android better than my class 4 and 6 but brand results may varies...

I'm using a 32Gb Topram sd card class 4 and it works fine, but so did my 16gb class 2 sandisk.
Just depends what you need the space for. If you load it up with media files, like me, you need space, if you're just running it with normal usage then an 8 gb should be fine.

Unfortunately, just like roms and builds, everyone's needs are different.

Thanks for replys.

I already have 4GB sandisk class 2 and Android works well.

But i need more space. And i want 8GB or more so i can format it to fat32 64 bit cluster size.

With 4GB i can only use 32 cluster size for FAT32. So i want to choose a good card. Becouse i dont want to spent money for card which will run Android badly.
