Kingston is the mostly used and sold brand. I recently bought 32GB DT USB 3.0 from Techno City Karachi in 1200 rupees.

If you want, you can add a few more hundreds to buy a 64GB DT USB 3.0

USB 3.0 is backward compatible (It will work fine with USB 2.0 ports) so don't worry about any compatibility issues.

Do not go for old generation 8/16GB DT USB 2.0, these have been reported to be faulty these days.

JazakAllah

I will also suggest Kingston. I myself have one with 4gb storage that I bought when 4gb and 8gb USBs were common. I think it has been around 4 years and ALHAMDULILLAH I have never faced any issues with it. However, I have had some issues such as slow movement of data or sometimes even loss of data with USBs of other brands.
And you may decide about the memory/storage yourself according to your need. I think there won't be any performance difference between 16gb and 32gb.

Yes there is a big performance difference between a 16GB DT and 32GB DT. The higher the storage capacity the higher the data transfer rate.

USB DT is also called USB Flash Drive. The USB 3.0 is new technology and provides faster data rates than USB 2.0.

USB 3.0 is backward compatible, means it will work even with older usb ports(i.e USB 2.0).

Goto any market and inquire about the product you'll know where to buy. They cheat only those who don't know a thing about tech. So inquire about your desired product( I would suggest 32GB USB 3.0 or 64GB depending upon your budget) at different stores in any market. You'll know what to buy and where to buy. These devices have warranty so do ask them to write you a bill mentioning warranty.

JazakAllah
