You are lacking replies as the subject has been done so many times before 
Short answer is 30meg/s is fine for video and raw bursts. Faster cards are quicker to get the data off the card and onto the computer and 5D2 data is huge. I use a Transcend 16Gb 400x and have some 30mb/s Sandisks. The transcend downloads fastest. no noticable difference when shooting.
