Buy a 480GB+ one as they are pretty cheap now.
Frankly the difference between the very best and the slightly not as good ones is not going to be very noticeable in practice, because both will smash any mechanical drive into oblivion for performance.
Samsung 840 EVO 500GB costs what these days? 150 quid? It's not the fastest but if you think logically, you can have 500GB of data fast access, instead of 250 and the rest on a mechanical. So more of what you store would be faster.
The point of an SSD these days for me is largely games, and games are getting so bloated (often 20GB installs or more) that 250GB seems a bit small now TBH * +
