I plan on buying a 3DS XL the day after thanksgiving (Black Friday), and I was just wondering what memory card I should get for it?

I heard that 32GB Sandisk Class 4 is the best 3DS XL memory card, unless I'll only need 16GB?

I don't plan on buying any DLC or eShop/online exclusives, just physical retail games.

If you're just buying retail games and no DLC or Eshop games, you can just use the default 1 or 2 GB SD card that comes with the system. The save data is stored in the game cartridges if you have the physical versions.

The default card should do just fine.

3DS games don't have optional or mandatory "game data" installs, like most PS3 games do?

That's a relief lol ^_^, more money to spend on adding 3DS games to my collection .

I have a decent handful of downloadable games and only recently have I needed a new SD card.

Of course it doesn't matter much since the 16 GB one I got was less than 20 bucks I believe.
