The mass-market use of SD-card for linux root started with Raspberry Pi nearly 8 years ago. One of the guys who has done a lot of work to understand their performance is Jeff Geerling. I have put a link to him in the Resources section of the PinePhone software page as well.
TL;DR - Samung Evo+ (and my 64G is faster than my 32G is faster than my 128G IIRC at 4k writes!)
- ROCKPro64 v2.1 2GB, 16Gb eMMC for rootfs, SX8200Pro 512GB NVMe for /home, HDMI video & sound, Bluetooth keyboard & mouse. Arch (6.2 kernel, Openbox desktop) for general purpose daily PC.
- 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
