    For reliability, I'd recommend getting a Crucial, Samsung, or Intel SSD only, since other SSDs don't have nearly as good a track record on reliability. As for speeds, *any* SSD would be a massive improvement over a HDD, and the most important SSD spec (random reads/writes) are all very had to subjective differentiate. Even the heavily-advertised numbers that don't actually matter too much (sequential read/write) are all very hard to subjectively tell the difference between.
