Floppy discs are fairly old technology now. Many manufacturers have stopped making them. On the other hand, they have been making them for so long that you have to believe that they've figured out how to do it properly by now, so it probably doesn't much matter which ones you buy.
Seriously, though, If you're using floppy discs today you'd better plan to move on to a combination of flash and optical storage media before your data degrades to unreadability on those old floppies.
One thing I do like about floppy discs is that you can set them to read-only. This is an option that is not available on flash drives, except for SD, and then only in software. Malicious software could still write to a supposedly read-only SD card.
