Reads are more important overall.

Writes are nice to have though.

What, no Intel

They're only some of the most reliable drive out there!
I mean! What about the "40GB Intel" that they've put 1PB through

And, all my Intels have had between 4-5TB through them

Didn't start the real list yet really, I have a lot of info to add, please do not take this as the final product.

You forgot the Mushkin and their Chronos line of SSDs. For the lower end 120Gb model, it cost me $184.99 with free shipping. For the Deluxe version, it costs $209.99. On paper, everything is better than an M4 for a similar price, and hardware canuck's benchmarks show the chronos beats the M4 in almost every test. Currently, they are sold out but Mushkin is a brand to consider and I highly recommend them.
