The short answer is: every NVMe is different, some may be better at burst speeds, some may be better at sustained writes, some for endurance, and of course there's the question of value.
If you make me pick:
• I have nearly zero money to spend: MX500 2.5" or BX500.
• Value: Kingston A2000
• Balanced: WD SN750
• Endurance / professional scratch disk use: Samsung 970 Pro (NOT 980 Pro! Tlc instead of MLC), or Gigabyte Aorus, or Corsair MP600
These are consumer NVMes for desktop pc/workstation usage. If you're building servers, you probably want to consider server-grade hardware.

Thanks a lot! I’m planning on upgrading from my 2010 PC to the new Ryzen APU and am looking for some good storage. I appreciate your thoughtful response!
