like if the 2 prices are comparable, you should always buy the 50 over the 30?

Theres a rate of diminishing returns where more spf doesnt really do anything for you beyond a certain point, but I forget the threshold. Google it

The SPF factor is basically the proportion less of UV you'll get from the Sun. SPF 30 blocks 96.7% of UVB light, so you can stay in the Sun 30 times as long as with no sunscreen. SPF 50 blocks 98% of UVB. SPF 100 blocks 99%.

It's also good to get one that blocks a higher proportion of UVA light too.

Not really. But I do burn easily, and I sweat a lot, so maybe I'm sweating off the sunscreen or something.
