So my Dell Venue 8 Pro tablet has a MicroSD card slot! My first device with expandable storage!

 

As I have never purchased SD cards before, any advice as to what flavors, brands, etc to look for? I am looking for 64GB, as I do not know if the Venue supports 128GB.

Make sure that you chose the supported format. Check your tablets manual. ;) 

XC, HC, 1-10 etc...

I personally use Sandisk Extreme 64GB UHS Micro SD.

Yes because A: SanDisk and B: Why not? and C: They're all similar yet unique, and SanDisk is best.
