Not unless you want to write-protect the card (slide the switch) or use
DRM protected files. If these are not an issue, then go with whatever
is most cost effective.

There are minor technical differences, but no difference in actual
function. Get the cheapest card you can find for most uses, which means
SD, which are actually more capable than MMC. I haven't even seen any MMC
cards for sale in some time.
