eMMC uses similar NAND devices as the eMMC. Write life is not a major concern. With SD cards, you do not know what you are getting. They use a lot of different controllers and the worst NAND they can find.
The 2GB eMMC won't be used much longer on the BBB. When we move to 4GB, you will have more room to move around.
