highly recommend buying only Class 10 SD cards

short, there’s three criteria to take in consideration while buying a SD card:

Filter by size, it’s the easiest thing to do. Check 32 GB SD card for basic projects, or more depending on your needs and budget. Then keep only the “Class 10” results. Most SD cards are now labelled as Class 10, but it prevents you from making a mistake by looking only at the price. And finally the price is also important for most of us. Except for those who are looking for the best performance, the price will be decent criteria to take in consideration.
