IMO Samsung, Intel and Crucial are the most reliable drives.
Pretty much any new SSD will provide very similar performance, benchmarks differences are not terribly meaningful as they are within about a few percent of real world overall performance. I look at reliability and the quality of the software. The Samsung Magician is the best followed by the Intel SSD Toolbox on that. I'm looking for a few Samsung 840 or 840 EVO drives on a good sale.
