Below is email from GoPro Support to me:
We recommend name brand SD cards with a class 4 rating or higher, but have recently come to learn that even some name brand cards such as the Sandisk 32GB, are having compatibility issues with the HD HERO camera.
We are currently working on doing a full listing of recommended (and not recommended) cards. We are researching further to determine why some cards are not adhering to the spec to which our SD card host adapter conforms. For what it's worth, internally we use Kingston or Patriot brand cards: 16GB, Class 4 without issue, so can safely recommend those.
Please do try out one of the Kingston or Patriot brand cards.

It might be better to have 2 16GB cards instead of one 32GB card for two reasons:
1. 16GB cards are a lot cheaper than a 32GB
2. Your computer can probably NOT edit one file at 32GB (if you left your camera on by accident). Breaking it up into smaller pieces seems to help the editing programs.

I use these right here for my Nikon D80 DSLR:
Sandisk 4 GB Extreme III Secure Digital HC Memory Card (SDSDRX3-4096-A21) |BuyDig.com
They write extremely fast which is what you want. I bought them with a rebate that has expired but you may want to check Sandisk's website for other deals.

See above stay away from Sandisk cards for now.

Oh, and despite popular belief that the suction cup is not a safe way to attach it to your vehicle. . . It works great. Just make sure whatever you're mounting to isn't significantly curved and it's clean and you'll be fine. So far that's the only thing I've used on my vehicles and haven't had any issues whatsoever. No waiting for adhesive to dry, no wondering if the adhesive is set well enough, no waiting for other mounts to arrive in the mail.
Randy, I bought a PNY 8g and later a Kingston ( another forum recommended ) either one seems to work the same I still havent been able to figure out the codec download so it will be plug & play. Right now I am still using a converter to upload files.
Any mount you use I would still tie off like with a sting or landyard of some kind. Also when I mounted on the top of the helmet I was surprised at the wind resistance abouy 80 mph.
Here's my mounts for now.

Kent, quick help here.. swap the pivot screw from under the camera to the other second joint..
they for some reason found it necessary to make two different screws.. if you swap them, you can easily tighten the one on the camera base..
the other is a tad longer and more skinny, it moves it outside the camera box where you can turn the stupid thing... my fat fingers could not turn the short one mounted under the camera box..

probably feels different from free fall to holding on to a bike.. it does look like a big wind sail up there..
