If possible, format the whole device, do not partition the ssd. This
will guarantee proper allignment.
The kernel will detect the ssd, and apply the ssd mount option
automatically.

I would use btrfs on the critical ones, as btrfs has checksums to detect
datacorruption.

Since you have them both, you might want to find out yourself, and let
us know ;-)
FWIW (not much, as you already have them), I would not buy anything else
than intel. I have about 26 of them for years now (both in servers and
workstations, several series), and never had an issue. Two of my
colleagues have OCZ, and both had to RMA them.
