I got mine when it was first released and have never had a problem with it.
maybe i got lucky...but ive never had a corrupt game save...or load problem from the card.
I'd go with an official one. Got got a 3rd party one and lost all my data, which made me stop playing my GC for a few years.
Lucky for me, a few months ago I got a new official Nintendo 1019 block memory card for about $4 at Toys R Us.

There's nothing wrong with 3rd party memory cards. They are all flash memory and as we know most of that comes from Samsung / other Flash memory producer.
Deal extreme offer super cheap ones too;

I have a 32MB Memory card from BigBen since from the first batch. It was heavily used and never lost any data. Though I heard that later batches weren't that good. If you have the money, get an original card and you'll be on the save side.
If you get a 3rd party anyway you should back it up regulary. There a a few pretty easy to use tools for Wii to do this.

I got this one: http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.6214 and never experienced any corruption with it for half a year now...
I have this one too. Although i have barely used it, it has worked fine and is a masterpiece! (apart from the colour lol).mugel0190 said:
The theoretical maximum size of a GC memory card is 128MBit, or 16Mbytes.
That card has 2x 128Mbit chips in it, with a switch, so you effectively have double the maximum capacity (or 2 cards in one slot lol). This also should theoretically allow easy isolation of savegame regions, which I've heard is a problem when mixing savegames (the card may format).
256Mbit is like a gazillion blocks, great for the GC backup launcher if u have heaps of backups
