microSD with an SD card adapter is functionally identical to a regular SD card in all situations. I always stick to microSD cards, even when I am buying it for a device that uses a full-sized SD card.

The adapters are passive. They're just wires connecting the contacts from the microSD position to the full size position. The extra contact in the full size pinout is an extra ground.
