was wonderin best brand

Any of the major players will be reliable e.g. Kingston, Lexar, Sandisk, Transcend etc. Avoid "no-name" cards and be especially wary of bargains found on popular internet auction sites as these can often be poor-quality clones.

size to get

This depends on your storage requirements and your budget. If you can find (and afford!) one the Hero will support 32GB cards.

seems i need to get class 6 what ever i get?

Class 6 offers faster minimum read/write speeds, but is no guarantee of maximum. I've seen benchmark tests where a Class 4 card has trounced a Class 6, for example. I'd suggest letting price/capacity guide your choice before choosing a Class 6 over a Class 4.
