I have used both Samsung EVO, Kingston and Sandisk 64gb cards. I've just pre ordered a Samsung EVO 128gb card.
Samsung have some very brave claims about the cards (EVO and Pro models) being able to withstand salt water, dust, etc. I don't know about that, but they are fast.
Someone mentioned using USB 3.0 - as thy are faster. Yes they are, but not very practical to carry around always in, or having to put in/out. For storing videos, music, etc microSD cards are fine - as long as you get a fast one.
