Based on compatibility and reliability, I nominate OWC and Crucial SSDs as your best options. This s based on user feedback and personal experience (Crucial).
Avoid Samsung. There have been too many problems related with them on these forums and the Samsung web site omits any comments regarding Mac compatibility.
Ciao.
