Doug I am confused. You sent us a link to an article reviewing SD cards. 
In the review the author says: San Disk Ultra - DO  NOT BUY.
And then you tell us that one is the recommended one?

Since there are a lot of people listening to this conversation I just want
to point out we are talking about write speed to an SD card. That would be
when you are initially writing the image to the card, a one time operation.
In actual use the speed of the card has little impact as Linux and Asterisk
Allstar are run from memory once booted and there is only occasional reads
from the SD card and rarely writes. Writes are made to a memory tmp file
system. With a faster card you may notice a difference in boot speed but
again booting is a one time operation that would rarely happen in a 24/7 run
system.
The generally recommend card is still the 8 or 16GB SanDisk Ultra.
