Micro(SD/SDHC/SDXC) should all work.
We've had tests up to 128GB, but given its flash storage, you're best to stay in the 32-64GB range and get a high endurance card. Sandisk High Endurance cards have been going for decent prices as of late.
If you want to find a better deal, the most important things to look for is:
- MLC memory.
- ECC (Error code correction).

Just a heads up that the if= and of= options on the dd command for backing up on Linux/Mac are reversed.
Backup: if=/dev/<device_file> of=/path/to/backup.img
Restore: if=/path/to/backup.img of=/dev/<device_file>
