I've had cards fail from pretty much any maker EXCEPT Lexar...for whatever that's worth. CF, SD, Micro-SD...

Speed of card doesn't generally come into play unless you're shooting video (4k or 8k will stress write speeds). Modern cameras have buffers that will absorb pretty much any burst that a pro sports shooter can throw at it. For S&G, we held the shutter button down on a Canon R3 and it kept firing for a good long time. I think by the time we were done, we were at 400+ shots. I think it was a UHS-2 card (fancy SD).
