Sandisk, although neither the camera nor the card cares whether your write 1 pixel or 1000MP .... Well, maybe the GB capacity is relevant for a 1000MP camera.
What is more relevant is the write speed of the camera vs the card. Paying more for an ultra fast card that is significantly faster than the camera can write is no benefit. See if your camera's manual provides recommendations, typically in the shooting video chapter.
You might also see what testing of your specific model has shown at: https://www.cameramemoryspeed.com

Thanks for that great link, Paul. It was very timely for me, since I’m looking for SD cards that will significantly increase the write speed when used in my Nikon D500.

The best, most durable SD cards are the Delkin BLACK Series. Lifetime warranty against ANY kind of damage (except losing them) and guaranteed 48 hour replacement of any damaged cards. You can run over them with a truck and they will be replaced for life. Nothing else out there offers anywhere the durability or the warranty. UHS-I & UHS-II available at top transfer speeds, from authorized dealers only. (Also available in CF format)

That site was very helpful when selecting an SD card for my newly purchased Canon 80D. I highly recommend it.
I will also suggest Sandisk. Extreme/Plus/Pro. None have let me down so far. Get what you can afford. Yes, paying for an ultra fast card can be overkill in some cases, but it also comes with a faster transfer speed to your PC. And a quality card that will last. If the price is right....
But the OP asked about the most durable. Not sure what was meant by that. Going to the desert...north or south pole?

I use Sandisk, Extreme Pro with the fastest write and read speeds--SD Xc II cards with 300 MB/s for my D 500. However, my main card for the D500 is the Sony G XQD card as its write and read speeds are even faster--Read 440 MB/s Write 400 MB/s.
Make sure your card reader accepts the fastest SD cards and transfers the images at the fastest possible speeds. I use the one from Sony that takes XQD and SD cards.

I have always used Sandisk. However recently one of their Extreme Pro 128 SD cards was found bad to start. It has a lifetime gtee. Maybe. 3 emails and phone calls later, I'm still nowhere and they're still asking for more and more info. Latest is they will (maybe) replace if I send them $15. Annoying.

I have a Sandisk that went thru the washing machine.... The card worked fine- I let it dry out in rice for 2 days in AZ(where it is extremely dry anyway). It cleaned up all my dirty photos (sorry I had to say it!!).

A few years ago I had a SanDisk SD card fail. I contacted them, sent it back, and they sent me a brand new one.
So something has changed.
