I'm in the market for a boot and some storage drive and thought why not ask you guys for opinions?

I'm looking at either a 60 or 120GB Model and have a budget of under 90 USD but I am looking on ebay as well so even if it is over a bit I don't mind.

Which out of these:

Kingston HyperX 3K
Crucial M4
Corsair Force GT
Corsair Neutron (GTX) Both of the Neutrons
Intel 320 Series
Samsung 840/30 Series
OCZ Vertex

I'm looking at price for performance, not just the best but any opinions are welcome.

Thanks for posting and if you don't mind me asking how much did you pay?
Also, what do you see preformance upgrades in? (upgrades from a regular mechanical HDD)

I think 110. I see a huge advantage. Games load so fast. Windows boots so fast. To much stuff boots to fast. I'm happy with.

Voting for the non-GTX Neutron. Synchronous MLC NAND and the LAMD LM87800 controller with a five-year warranty.

Thanks all I have made up my decision. After looking at some benches I'm either going with the non gtx neutron, m4, or a hyperX.

You're still just not going to notice any real performance differences unless you're using the drive for very specific tasks. You should base your decision on reliability, warranty, support, and price. The warranty puts the Neutron ahead of the competition at the moment but the OCZ Vertex 4 is also a good option with a 5-year warranty and a price of $120. I love it when you can't make a bad choice.
