Which SSD is good for me?

Thanks for your nice replay btw
Honestly I think most mainstream, modern SSDs are going to be fast enough for your needs. The difference between those drives and the ultra expensive ones are not something you're likely to see and feel in typical usage anyway. Benchmarks will reveal those differences, but you aren't likely to notice otherwise.
Plus, a lot of these drives will come close to maxing out a SATA III port anyway—the real speed improvements are on PCIe and M.2 these days, which aren't likely to be options on a laptop anyway.
Basically, don't get too distracted by MB/s. It's often much more practical to focus on GB/$. If buying a slower SSD allows you to buy a bigger one, that's usually worthwhile. In my experience, SSDs are never as big as you'll wish they were.
