My thoughts are - any of my menagerie of cards should be OK for playing the various options in the beginning. As soon as I find an OS that I think is "best" (whatever that may mean) I will want to copy it across to eMMC for best speed results. And reliability/integrity (I have yet to have a notable SDcard failure but am well aware eMMC/SSD etc are designed for RW use on a general purpose computer, unlike SDcards designed for writing photos, videos etc.) Thereafter I can still keep playing other options on SDcards.
I am sure as per Raspberry Pi and others, cards with good random read speed of small files are preferable. My choice has always been Samsung Evo+, others love whichever Sandisk flavour is similar. But on the PinePhone I see the SDcard as a means to an end, not the end.

- PinePhone Pro Explorer Edition, daily driver, rk2aw & U-boot on SPI, Arch/SXMO & Arch/phosh on eMMC
- PinePhone BraveHeart now v1.2b 3/32Gb, Tow-boot with Arch/SXMO on eMMC
