third party SSD experience
Has someone installed a third party SSD in their mid 2010 i5 iMac? Any notes on Crucial, OWC, Samsung units? Does this model iMac benefit from SSD's with read and write speeds in the 500 range?

It will benefit, but not as much because it only has a 3.0 Gb/s bus. You need a 6.0 Gb/s bus to get the maximum capabilities of the SSDs made for that bus. The vendors you mention are all highly reliable.
Note that if you install it yourself then you lose all future support from Apple.
