Currently mostly using Sony Tough 160GB CFeA in the A1 - I bought a few before the A1 arrived (impatience!) - they are very good, and the price is slowly coming down. I have a Lexar Gold 160GB CFeA (much cheaper, but feel less tough), and I'm pondering getting a 320GB Lexar Gold.

I look at the other brands, and I'm not sure. Tempted by the AngelBird 1TB, but they aren't cheap, and they don't make a smaller size to try them out.

When I fill my CFeA cards, I do sometimes use Sony Tough G SD - I have a few that I bought to use on the A7RIV (they are mostly used in the A6700 now). These are not quite as fast to clear the buffer, but they are a lot better than missing a shot by not having a card in the camera

If you don't shoot a heap of bursts, you can use SDs - the A1 shoots at the same speed until it starts to clear the buffer.

Have been using Sony 160GB CFeA
Recently purchased Delkin 160GB CFeA, quite a bit less expensive than Sony and seems to work fine, but haven't had a chance yet to put it to really heavy use.

Sony cf express type a. Faster and reliable. Had same in lexar but lexar failed.

6 x Sony 160gb 2 x Lexar gold 320gb and just ordered 1 x 320gb lexar silver as per andrewluke post above £118 all in..... In use I haven't noticed any difference between the Sony or lexar gold, with possibly the lexar gold transferring to Mac slightly faster than the Sony.... Been luck enough to have some local short eared owls showing well and been taking 1000s of photos to lexar cards with no issue
