ssd recommendations?

That graph would be useful if it actually split return rates by product lines. The early OCZ SSDs (Core, Core V2 etc) had known issues (lack of TRIM support, which no doubt contributes a lot of returns), and I would not be surprised to find them comprising most of these returns. However, OCZ currently has 17 product lines for SATA SSDs alone, covering SATA II and SATA III, 3 different controllers and more than 5 different NAND sources (25nm &34nm Intel, 34nm Micron, 34nm Spectek, 32nm Hynix, etc). Assuming that each of these products has the same return rate is sheer naïvete.
If you want an inkling of the kind of issues you might get from buying a particular SSD, search support forums and similar places, don't extrapolate blindly based on general numbers.

That is why I posted that graph. I bought intel when I bought mine a couple of weeks ago (also replaced 3 storage drives with 2 new 2TB ones).

I'd personally go with 120GB so you could at least have ~70GB of free space after a Windows 7 installation. 80GB works too, but I would feel to cramped with only that little room for applications. Since your motherboard probably doesn't have SATA3... It'd be pointless to get a drive that it's performance is more than ~300MB.

Too bad Newegg reviews don't mean shit.
Try reading people's experiences on various reputable forums like Xtremesystems or Overclock.net I just installed my OCZ Vertex 3 (Newegg reviews for that are hilarious) yesterday and I've had no problems. Probably because I bothered research on several forums if there were issues - which flashing to the latest firmware and secure erasing shortly after fixed.

yea i know they could get weird at times but having no RMA posts would still be good.
