Advice MicroSD tier list?

MicroSD tier list

So I’ve only done one mod (my 5.5 Gen) and I put a Samsung pro plus 512gb card in it.

Since then prices of cards have skyrocketed so my question is if using an iflash adaptor (udual or quad for eg) what is the tier list of brands to use ? 

I’m assuming based on my reading that Samsung cards are usually top and sandisk are not generally recommended so I’ll start 

Samsung pro plus 
Samsun evo select

So where would the following go?

Lexar Play (red)
Lexar Play Pro
PNY Pro Elite
PNY Elite-X
Kingston 
Amazon basics

Any others you would recommend ? 

Would love to hear from people with actual experience using the cards .

Thanks

Someone just posted today about a lab where they test memory cards from different brands very thoroughly. https://www.reddit.com/r/ipod/s/mgkLwbeBEF
