Which will last longer, a USB drive or an SD card in a USB drive adapter? (alien.top)

So I'm adding external storage to a Fire Stick and I'm wondering what will last longer, a USB stick or a micro sd card in a USB adapter?

The firestick will likely use the external storage for a few hours everyday so it will need to last as long as my grandmother does.

Second question, how long should I expect these to last assuming I buy quality?

This is just playing media back, right? Keep a copy of the media elsewhere (and, if it's important to you, check that you can access it periodically) and buy the cheapest thing you can find for the TV.
