If you want to go safe but 'spensive, Intel is the best bet (current high end is the 730, but the 540s looks decent too). Samsung makes a very popular (and fast) drive in the 850 Pro, but I've not seen the best failure rates with it. But it should be just fine in a laptop environment.
I just bought a buttload of smallish (500GB), inexpensive-ish (read consumer) SSDs to test at work, but I'm testing a very particular thing which is probably not applicable. Still, I'll let you know if anything stands out good or bad.
