Before the brand name Lexar got sold off, Lexar was a Micron subsidiary. That's where Lexar got its good rep from, because Micron is a reliable, premiere memory manufacturer, as in, they make their own stuff and don't have to source memory chips from anyone else. If reliability is important to you, buy from Micron, Solidigm (Hynix-Intel), Samsung, SanDisk-WD, Kioxia (Toshiba) if at all possible, to ensure you get A-grade memory.
If you buy from anyone else, you don't know where they sourced their memory from. This "Longsys" Chinese company may well just shove whatever is cheapest to buy each week, into their cards, including buying from less-reliable memory makers (smaller Chinese manufacturers).
Basically the big players like SanDisk feed themselves first, and any surplus or B-grade memory (bad batches that got more defects and can't be trusted to run at proper speeds, etc.) get sold to smaller players.
Some non-manufacturers like Kingston do enough of its own testing, and have long-term contracts so as to avoid the "memory roulette" issue where the label is the same month to month, but the memory might not be. So I'd regard Kingston as almost as good as buying direct. Still, it's better to buy from the actual manufacturers directly, to avoid guessing games as much as possible.
