Hi,
USB sticks are generally O.K, I think you maybe thinking of the first generation SSD's.
The current generation of SSD's are using different technology, and will last for years.
They are now used in data centres where they are subject to "Terrabytes" of R/W cycles.
Samsung 840/850's are very good.
If I remember correctly, the persistence is used when you create a "Live Stick",
but want the ability to save files and settings after you shutdown.
You are not creating a "Live Stick",
But are are doing an "actuall" install to the USB Stick.
See goldfingers post.
