Coming from photography and the reputation there amongst pros and amatures 
alike Sandisk from the Ultra and Extreme ranges along with the Lexar Pro cards 
have ecellent reputations. 

Sandisk have a lifetime replacement policy too. I use Sandisk Extreme and an 
Ultra card in my Tascam DR-680.

I hope this helps. Hope you manage to sort the problems.
