The Vertex LE models should do well as ZIL  (though not as well as an
X25-E or a Zeus) for all non-enterprise users.

The X25-M is still the best choice for a L2ARC device, but the Vertex
Turbo or Cosair Nova are good if you're on a budget.

If you really want an SSD a boot drive, or just need something for
L2ARC, the various Intel X25-V models are cheap, if not a really great
performers. I'd recommend one of these if you want an SSD for rpool, or
if you need a large L2ARC for dedup (or similar) and can't afford
anything in the X25-M price range.  You should also be OK with a Corsair
Reactor in this performance category.
