I have used an SSD in my Quicksilver for at least a year, to great satisfaction. It's not night-and-day, but definitely worth while ( the system has slower bus and port speeds, so the speed up is not felt as radically as with newer systems). It does boost the overall performance of the system noticeably, most especially with data-base intensive applications like Mail and Vienna. I have always used SSDs from OWC (macsales.com), which can be purchased as a kit with the right ATA to SATA adapter ( I have used a generic adapter at times too). Just remember to get the one they list as compatible ( the 3G Legacy as I recall ). You can use any of the offered sizes, but only the first 120 or so GB will be seen by the Quicksilver, (the drive can always later be used in another machine at full capacity). So if this is your main machine, it is worthwhile. Also remember that SSDs will have a shorter lifespan than hard drives as to the number of writes, so it's best to use them for boot drives, rather than data drives.
