(So basically every SSD out there should work) You can use swap if you want. I would recommend for a noteboot around 1GB of swap. Its not needed, but its nice to have in some cases. You can use Trim as well, but i am not sure if i would recommend it. Some people love it, others have proven that modern SSD's dont care about it. If you use btrfs as your filesystem just use the "defaults" options, the SSD detection is pretty good.
