frankly I didn't fully understand.

Simple answers would be most appreciated.

I would not touch Samsung EVO with a bargepole.

There, simple

OK - that was the 840, but they took so long to address the problem, I
would not trust them.

Also, I don't yet trust Triple Level Cells which is what Samsung are
pushing.

Any other brand worth looking at?

Yes:

PLEXTOR PX-512M6 (mSATA format) have been solid in my daily use laptop
for 3 years now.

SanDisk SDSSDXP1 (SATA) has been solid in my home router for 2-3 years.

Essentially, Sandisk or Plextor.
You won't find massive capacities yet, because they are sticking to MLC
(2 level cells) which are reliable tech.
