In regular use, the speed of SSD doesn't matter that much. All are fast enough for use. And higher capacity drives are usually faster than lower capacity ones. I would personally go for the 480 GB SSDs. 

Home PC: i5 6402P | Kingston HyperX 8GBx2 | Gigabyte G1 gaming GTX 1060 | Kingston UV400 240GB | WD blue 1TB | Gigabyte H110m-S2 | Cooler Master B500 v2

Laptop: Lenovo Yoga 710(Kaby Lake)

Phone: Oneplus 3

Tablet: iPad air 2
