Nice one. :D

Please use the correct model series names, not close enough ones, and no texting abbreviated language. All of that is just asking to get poor or no recommendations, due to inaccurate information, and/or statements which could be interpreted different ways, and/or knowledgeable people glancing at your post and deciding that deciphering it is not worth their time. Take your time and do it right, using only widely accepted abbreviations, such as w/, w/o, wrt, IE, FI, etc., and so on.

If the Kingston is a V+200, that would be a good one to get. It'll perform about as well as the others in real use, and should be one of the cheapest. You may find some poor performance experiences, where low queue depth performance trended towards the same as QD=1 over time, but they've fixed that with firmware updates. The Kingston V200, OTOH, isn't so great, and I would get the Intel over it. Intel is a good choice, but usually pricey. Corsair's is pretty good, but also pricey, and IMO, you'd need to be worried about the size of your e-peen to care about its mildly better performance over the other two.

At the same cost, I'd get the Intel. At a reduced cost compared to the others, I'd get the Kingston, if it's a V+200.

I've personally been biased against OCZ for years, now, so I'm pretending the Agility isn't really there :).

If it is the Corsair Force 3 and the Kingston V+200, then aren't they all using Sandforce 2281 with asynchronous NAND? If so, then normally I would get the cheapest. If they are all similar priced, then I would buy in this order: Intel, Corsair, Kingston, OCZ. Reasons are Intel has their supposed custom firmware, then the rest follows based on what I perceive customer service to be, from best to worst.
