I have been using Sandisk and Sony high speed SD memory cards without any problems for years. Don't know how does Lexar compare.

Any previous experience?

Are you talking about a new SD card? I have had Lexar cards in the past but you might keep in mind that the Lexar brand was sold by a US company, Micron, to a Chinese company, Longsys, a few years ago. My Lexar cards were all bought pre-sale days.

You know SanDisk Expreme Pro is the best. Why ask about anything else?

I have used Lexar for years, the company was sold recently and there has been discussion about quality but I have always been happy with their SD cards never had a problem. I can also tell you that I bought one of the Cfast cards that Canon did not have listed as compatible with my R5 and sure enough I experienced problems, when I contacted the vendor Lexar was willing to work with the vendor for a full refund.

I have NEVER had a failure with any SanDisk product.
All of the other brands that I have personally tried have either totally failed or are so "wonky" that they now find service only in my digital picture frames.
However, in full disclosure, SanDisk now carries the Western Digital logo at the top left of their website.

Luxar are very good cards. I've been mainly using them since 2010. Their CF cards are fast and I have one of their card readers too and it's very fast. I've only seen on go bad and that wasn't one of mine. It was a friends card and Luxar sent him a new card. If you are going to use UDMA 7 cards, you should use a UDMA 7 card reader.

I have been using Lexar Sd cards for several years without any problems. They are less expensive than San Disk. I have used 128 and 256 type II cards.

I use Lexar and Sony XQD.
I use Lexar and SanDisk SD
I use Lexar and SanDisk CF

I have but no longer use a Hitachi Microdrive. It doesn't fit any of my cameras, put I can read the content.

Never had an issue with any of them. I don't baby them, but I do not abuse them either.

It might help the OP who said they want to buy a new Lexar card if those saying they had no problem with their Lexar cards specify when they bought them. The older one's were made when Lexar was part of Micron not the company that is currently making them, Longsys (not sure there is anything different on the card). Anyone buy in 2020 or more recent?
