If you were to purchase a SSD tomorrow out of which four of these would it be?

We use both Crucial and Intel at work so I'm kinda in the air about it.
Probably the Intel 335. Intel SSDs have a well-built reputation of giving good performance and reliable operation. The Crucial M4 is also good, although my Dad has a strange issue with the one in his laptop. If he suspends the computer, it crashes upon resume--probably not as important for a desktop system (particularly a cruncher), but still perhaps relevant. I'd probably choose between one of those two.
