Whatever you feel like you need/afford.

Surely there are differences in the longevity:
some brand will break down in 6 months, you lose all data, some dont

Latest Samsung evo drive that's 500gb

The biggest one you can afford. More cells let you write more data, and free space can be used by the controller to reallocate. It's a win/win (at least until you hit a point where chips get bigger and slower).

Whichever is MLC on sale when you need a ssd

Like 3 years ago I bought a crucial mx200 256gb for $90, shits cash. Other day I saw the mx300 512gb on sale for like $120 - dunno if those are any good.

>Whichever is MLC
Which is pretty much none besides the Samsung "Pro" drives. Rest is all TLC shit.

>some brand will break down in 6 months, you lose all data, some dont
I have a Vertex3 256gb since 2012, everyone everywhere said they were duds and it will shit itself. My friend killed a Samsung EVO 500gb in a year. Brands don't mean shit, it's silicon lottery either way, if it's not shit and you don't keep it 95%+ full all the time, it will outlive you.

Whatever you do, just make sure to have weekly backups of whatever you have on your drive.
