Accessories Best reliable microsd card (16 or 32gb)?

Hi, I've been having nagging card issues with my DX, and I think it's due to the non-name brand (A-data) 16GB card I've been using.

The problem went away when I switched to another card as a test - it was a 4GB card though.

So I'm trying to find a replacement card that's either 16gb or preferrably 32gb that is reputable, fast (at least class 6), and reliable.

I'm trying to stick to Sandisk, but I can't find any class 6 cards from them at 16gb or 32gb.

Lexar has this card which looks promising:
Amazon.com: Lexar High Speed MicroSDHC 32 GB Class 10 Flash Memory Card with Reader LSDMI32GBSBNAR: Electronics

But it has a few scary reviews.

Any opinions and suggestions?
 
Class 10 is a no-no; I can speak from experience that it's too high a class for the X to manage. A class 4 works just fine.
 
For Android use get a class 2 or class 4 SanDisk. The rated the highest for our use. :D

Class 10's are optimized for writing large files sequentially (think camera or video).

Slower cards are optimized for reading small random files.
