Kingston A400s and Crucial BXs have been very good as cheap SSDs in my experience.
I used to like the a400, had a few of them in service, but a few years ago I tried another one and it was terrible. Just... Slow.. like an HDD. I did some research and apparently they changed something with the nand somewhere along the line. Did a bait and switch. I don't remember the details but it annoyed me.
I actually needed to buy a budget SSD just today, and I got a BX500. We'll see how it goes. I know not to expect much from a drive without DRAM, but at least I know that going in.
I was lucky then with the 4 A400 I'm still using. I also have 3 BX500 that have been very reliable.
