Intel for reliability, Samsung for reliability/speed, Crucial for speed/price/reliability, and Sandforce drives for speed. I think the M4 64GB is the best bang for buck. Got mine for $85 and it does 550MB/s read, 115MB/s write. The new Samsung 830 64GB will do about the same read with better writes, and has better reliability, though either would be reliable. The Force GT 120GB I had was great, but I dont think its worth the price difference.
With RAID you lose TRIM, so I would look for drives that have agresive garbage collection if doing RAID. The Kingston V100+ is good for that iirc.
