Any card will work but you won't get any advantage from the faster (and much more expensive) UHS-II cards.

Cards like the SanDisk Extreme Pro UHS-1 170 MB/sec is about as fast as the camera can handle.

I've used whatever basic cards were cheap or I had around, but last time out with the XT30 doing car tracking and burst shooting, I would get hangups for 5 or 10s while the buffer dumped and the cards tried to keep up. Even switched from my Samsung Evo whatever to my Sandisk whatever. Didn't matter.

Black friday/boxing day came around and I got a Lexar Professional 128GB 150MB/s SDHC UHS-II card. I finally got it shipped and upon using it, I can burst shoot and while it's writing, go back to burst shooting. No more hangups.

I know it doesn't use UHS-II but being on the fast end, it's not a bottleneck and if I get a new camera at any point, I'll already have a UHS-II card, so win win.
