Sorry, in my sidetrack I'd missed the purchase! Congrats and I think that's a great choice!
On cards, I'm a big believer in as big as is reasonable, and fortunately with SD cards even high end ones are relatively inexpensive(don't look at CFE B cards unless you want some sticker shock!).
One thing I will say is that I'm a big fan of not putting all my eggs in one basket, so to speak, and tend toward multiple smaller cards. When I used Compact Flash cards, I used a lot of 32gb and 64gb cards even in 36mp cameras. Now I tend to buy 128gb CFe cards just because they get too pricey/gb lower than that. My main reason for that is that I don't want to park cards in the camera for too long and if one is broken or damaged, that's less lost. Dual slot cameras, like the XT-2, make me feel a lot better about that though.
