I am looking for a 60GB SSD and I can't decide between the following drives

-OCZ Vertex 2
-G.Skill Pheonix Pro
-Mushkin Enhanced Callisto Deluxe
-Patriot Inferno

Can you help me decide?

I'm a big fan-boy of mushkin so I'd recommend them, also i think the 60GB is cheaper the the OCZ counterpart.
they are all the same thing really. i have the phoenix pro, just like g.skill
, get which ever is cheaper.

Crucial has the only lineup of Sata III ssds for sale at newegg. If I'm not mistaken your motherboard has Sata 3, or 6Gb/s, right?

According to the stats on newegg this will run faster in the Sata 3 port. Up to 355MB/s! Doesn't seem to be any more expensive than Sata 2 ssds of the same size either.

I'm not sure if other sata 6 ssds are available yet. These are the only ones currently carried by newegg. I imagine that will be changing very shortly though.

Unfortunately, his mobo does not support SATA 3.

It is still a valid point if/when you upgrade to a mobo that does support SATA 3, you will be able to access that extra speed. Something to consider.
Otherwise, go with the Mushkin. Like nzgroller, i am also a Mushkin fanboy.

Probably OCZ just because they have firmware updates, and a pretty active forum... but whatever really, they are all Sandforce so should be about the same.
+1 ^ And also, I am a happy ocz customer hehe.
