Get the corsair one.
You always hear of OCZ facking up with ram and such. I wouldn't trust them with any other kind of memory lol.
No problem with mushkin tho.
...eh. Which one is the cheapest?

SSDs are very different from RAM. It's like saying you wouldn't trust an OCZ CPU or Videocard because of their RAM. (not that they actually make those...)
Corsair is a good choice for SSDs - but OCZ has the best track record for firmware updates and A+ support.

They often perform better than their stated specs and their support is excellent in my experience with their power supplies and RAM. They have excellent warranties also.

Especially when OCZ has the best track record of pushing out new firmwares that boost performance, and so far Corsair hasn't pushed out many updates to any of their SSDs...
Your reasons for going Corsair apply to OCZ in this case.

OCZ has a cozy relationship with Sandforce who makes the Sandforce controller in all three of those drives (which gives them all identical performance)
This means OCZ often is first to release new firmware for such drives.
Otherwise the three drives should be identical, so it is a case of customer support, warranty, brand loyalty, and price.
I would tend toward the OCZ or Mushkin since they have forums where you can post, with OCZ being the most active forums by number of "admin" or "company" staff...
Having said that, Corsair's other products are pretty impressive, and their company image in general is good... But the firmware is such a big part of the package with SSDs that I would be inclined to stick with OCZ...

Assuming I go with OCZ, there are 4 models listed that are all roughly the same price, size and speed.
Is there a benefit to any particular model of these 4?
