which 16gb microsd card class recommened for droid x2?

I've heard the class 6 cards are the best. There are lots of people saying the class 10 cards are more prone to failure and the extra speed isn't really necessary.

I just stepped up from the the stock Class 4 card to a Kingmax 8gb Class 10. Definitely a substantial upgrade.
