Samsung is my choice

i would go with the intel 530 for the 5y warranty

but id be tempted by a larger drive

Mushkin Enhanced Chronos 240g $90

Crucial MX100 256GB $111

intel 520\530 240g $120-130

The ~120GB SSDs don't have the same performance as their ~240GB counterparts, and you can get a 240GB SSD for around $100 or so... that's where I would go unless it's for a limited application like a HTPC or something.

Of those listed, I'd take the Intel. Of those listed I have the 128GB HyperX, it's a pretty decent drive, and I have 2 120GB Intel 530's installed in PC's I maintain... I've gotten very good service out of them. I don't like Samsung's RMA process, so I don't normally recommend them.

I'm the only other person who sees the Sandisk as a pretty good middle option?

Okay, taking all of your input into consideration, I've decided to go up to the 240GB-256GB size.

Here are my top 5 selections:

I'd go with the Crucial. Sure it's a few more bucks but it's a solid choice.
That link is crazy btw.....%%%34%%23%%%%12^^

 

[Charlie98]

Given that set... I'd take the Crucial every day and twice on Sunday....

 

[dave_the_nerd]

Yeah, Crucial.

 

[Essence_of_War]

The only one of those I'd give the time of day to is the Crucial.
