Overall I'd say the defect rate differs little from my experience with rotating rust, so it's worth the improvement in speed to use them.
It's worth noting that all those you've had fail are brands that don't have very good reputations in SSDs. Stay away from those and you'll have a much better failure rate.
I'd note here that I'm beating the daylights out of 4 of the 240G adata's, and one 60G. All are working flawlessly after I purged my systems of sata-usb3 cables of other brands in favor of startech's. They, and the drives are Just Works here.
