SD Card for R7

At the risk of starting another heated discussion about the R7 buffer, what SD cards are people using for their R7 and/or R5. I've been using the Lexar Professional 128GB 1667x 250MB/s since I've owned my R5 but it works well in both cameras. I have 8 cards in rotation and format them in-camera prior to each use. I haven't been shooting video in my R5 but I have been testing it out on my R7 and the card keeps up so far.

Transfers to my PC are reasonable. I typically shoot 1,200 images per outing in RAW/CRAW. I've never really timed it but it usually takes less than a few minutes with my USB-C card reader. I've been using the cards on my R5 for the past 18 months and average 6-10 outings a month so I wouldn't classify it as heavy usage.

What are other people using and what has there experience been in terms of speed and reliability.
