I only base this of real-life performance so unfortunetly the only website I know that actually check that with SSDs is hardwarecannucks. Anandtech is the worst SSD reviewer ever. All he does is a bunch of benchmarks, who gives a !"#% about benchmarks anyway, any monkey can run a benchmark and dataentry the results like their SSD reviews. The highest PC score isn't always the fastest or most reliable anyway. The point of this list is to find SSDs with the best garbage collection, screw SandForce.
So my conflusion for best durable non SF SSDs so far are;
Intel 520 > Corsair Series Pro > Crucial m4 (anything worse then this SSD won't be listed)
Note: All three are 240GB size. More interested in the 120GB sizes but it doesn't matter as long as the comparison isn't 120GB vs 240GB because it is unfair on the smaller drive.
I want to add the Samsung 830+ series SSDs, Plextor M5+ Marvell drives and Corsairs Neutron Series to this list but can't find 'real-life' performance reviews on them, from the same site (benchmarkers use their own unique methods to review products therefore, the source should be the same if possible). Below is the closest I can get, sadly most of those reviews are very brief.

PS: Intel 520 is an exception to the SF rule because it can clean itself after a non TRIM mode with the software tool provided.
