I'm choosing between either the Kingston 120GB HyperX Fury 500/500, the Silicon Power 120GB S60 550/500 or the Silicon Power 120GB S70 557/507. Which one should I get?

The reason why I chose from these is because they offer 120 gb SSD with 500+ mbps write/read for under 80 EUR. My problem is, that I know and trust Kingston, but I'm very unfamiliar with Silicon Power, but they offer faster speeds. All three use the same SandForce SF-2281 flash controller and have MLC NAND components.

So are these all reliable, or should I push the budget and just go for the Sandisk 120GB Ultra II 550/500? My senses tell me to go for SanDisk, but that is because of prejudice towards unknown brands and that SanDisk is more "professional" than Kingston.
 
I've not used any of these drives myself, but I've heard the Kingston HyperX has a good reputation. I prefer the Samsung 850 drives because of their stellar warranties. The 850 EVO has a 5-year warranty, while the 850 Pro has a full 10-year warranty.
