For a Nikon D3200, considering a larger capacity SD Card. Thoughts on with of these...or something different.
The speed difference between these cards is just a hair more than 10%, so I'd guess that you are not going to notice a big difference between them.
By the way...Micro Center (my go-to memory card source) recently ran a sale in which their 95MB/s cards were priced about one third the price of their 80MB/s cards. You can probably guess that I bought the faster cards and saved quite a bit of money. The moral is to watch for sales, and watch prices if you are in the store. Sometimes the logical isn't so logical.
My suggestion on card size is to go ahead and try a higher capacity card. Take note how full it is each time you download it. Use that to estimate how big a card you really need, and buy several of those to use those as your primary cards. Then keep your big card in a safe place where you can find it on that day when you know you are going to need more capacity.

I normally use 16GB or 32GB cards in my Nikon D5500, If cannot find SanDisk I prefer to use cards from Delkin devices. You can check them out www.delkindevices.com I find them very reliable and have never had a card failure with them.

I have only had 2 off brand cards to fail in many years and nary a SanDisk card to fail. I also probably have a greater chance of having my camera (with card) stolen than having a SanDisk card fail. Just my opinion from another viewpoint. JimmyT
I understand your reasoning for large capacity cards only, but in a way you are also placing all your eggs in one basket, so to speak. If the large card fails, you can potentially lose an incredible amount of images, depending how full the card is - far more images than possible with the failure of a smaller capacity card.
Personally, I've never had an issue with card management on long trips; I simply number my cards beforehand and use them in numerical order throughout the trip.

Jimmy, you might have 16 cards that could possibly fail, but they all will not fail at once. Therefore, you won't lose ALL you photos due to a failure. On the other hand, if you only have one card and it fails, you do loose ALL your photos.
Think of it as insurance. With several cards, you are insuring that you do not loose all your photos due to a card failure.
And if you do get your camera stolen, with one card you lost all your photos, just like a failure. With several cards, you still have all the others....
I for one like insurance. I don't like taking chances........
