I use Samsung and SanDisk with success.

I also found out that FreeBSD 11 has a higher chance of booting than
10.2. 10.2 is more picky about the cards in use.

You can also take the card out and back to a running machine and check
the settings in /etc/rc.conf. The file system should use after the
first start the full capacity. If not, the system never started.
