Any recommendations on best SSDs (most dependable, best value, etc.) would
be welcome, as I only know them by reputation, not from experience.
Last I bought was an m.2(Samsung 970 EVO SSD 1TB - M.2 NVMe), so that's no
help for you :( I use this when buying a new drive:

But it's now hard to filter out form factor (I'm assuming you're looking for
SATA 6 Gbit/s not m.2), and actually that looks like it's only m.2 form
factor now.
Try this:

Select SSD, sort by Disk Mark and drop below ???
Nevermind, PassMark has made that completely useless :(!

If you just want one that will do you well, try this for $60:

If you can afford $50 more, bump it up to the 1TB version...
Best, and hope that helps,
Michael
PS: Do get a SATA 6 Gbit/s SSD even if you MB only has SATA 3 Gbit/s
connections, stupidly that about doubles the transfer speeds. (I'll guess
the 3 Gbit/s SSDs have crappy internals, 'cause they can.)
