Intel and OCZ have typically been considered the leaders. I am happy with my OCZ. But, I am not totally up to date on all the newer ones. It ultimately comes down to who makes the controller for the drive... my OCZ Vertex is Indilinx based I am pretty sure.

Anandtech has some performance charts for SSDs. Indilinx, and SandForce are the big 3 controllers. OCZ has actually moved to the Sandstorm controller in their new Vertex 2 Pro line of SSDs.

I read one article(feed posted useful info) and it was talking about using SSDs with the better controller for better rewrite performance. I normally get lost in those articles as they quickly go to deep for me. My startup has really slowed down, probably something that needs to get cleaned out. But the start up time improvements I read about are pretty nice and load times on games. Maybe a decent one for $200. Or I could go crazy and drop $1900 on the machine I built on newegg... Oh to dream
