Actually the cheapest SSD, but it's fairly fast and 32GB should be enough.
IIRC I payed about 70 euro for it. So that's not bad.
Most important 'thing' about SSDs is Random Write performance, or (Average) Write Latency, check how big the differences can be here:

Currently is far easier to find a good SSD because of SandForse SF1200/SF1500 controllers, which provide good Random Write (and overall Random I/O) performance.
