The one that's cheapest, I doubt you will notice a difference between them.

if you are spending 110$ on a 128GB m.2, get this instead. https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820167411&ignorebbr=1&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-PC&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-PC-_-pla-_-Solid+State+Disk-_-N82E16820167411&gclid=Cj0KEQjwk-jGBRCbxoPLld_bp-IBEiQAgJaftbTPMbF_jvI8DEsXdWvGf5gYHFY7vwjDCq50v51JzuMaAuyH8P8HAQ&gclsrc=aw.ds 100$ for 256GB and the read speeds are WAY better. but as said, you may or may not see a difference except in loading games from it
