When all is said and done if you are running an optimised OpenELEC distro, even a Class 6 Sandisk will get the job done on any AMLogic device.
Unless you are doing Movie Scraping numbered in the Thousands of titles and doing a LOT of Random Write operations I seriously doubt you are going to notice the difference between an expensive microSDHC card and a cheap one. Most of us do not do this every day anyway.
A lot of this talk is a hangover from OpenELEC on the RPI2 that has slower RAM, Networking and Clock speeds. This is where you do notice a difference with a good microSDHC, like the Samsung EVO Class 10 that has decent random R/W speeds.
