From what I have read previously - the actual memory chip inside all the cards are the same, made by samsung and re-branded by the different manafacturers.
I have had a 256 cards for a couple of months now and so far not had an problems.

This is partially true. The IC flash are not all that make up these cards, and there is actually quite a bit of variance between different cards by different manufacturers. Samsung is, however, the leading NAND Flash IC manufacturer market share wise and currently producees the best quality SLC flash, which is what ATP uses.

The ICs will help for the best performance and reliability, however, also important arethe Flash controllers used and how they are tuned. Another factor that will significantly change between manufacturers is how the ICs are packaged. The guys at auphanonline did a review on our 2GB SD card where they showed the differences in IC packaging and how it actually helps in durability:
