From these two the 990 pro, but a comparison with the Fury Renegade is a bit of a closer comparison. I'd say you're probably good with whichever you choose, so get the one that's the best value for the prices available to you.

Either one will do just fine, they're both among the best SSDs around. Functionally you won't notice any difference and the longevity of both should be more than good enough.

Or, if available, look at the WD 850x Black....extremely fast, reliable and usually less $$ than a Sammy....

Reviews of each are available in the TPU review section. Seems to be a 1% Relative Performance difference.

Both of them are Powerfull SSD, but the Samsung one also uses less Power and have a bit greater TBW. But i think that Samsung is more reliable at the moment. This is mostly a bit of your personal thinking, just go for the one you feel good.

At the same price I'd get the Samsung as it's very slightly faster but it'd be impossible to tell them apart in any real world scenario either way.

No you would see no difference at all, just that the Samsung uses less power and a higher TBW is an no brainer IMHO.
And less Power also translates to less heat dissipated while working with it.

They are both top of line ssds. You probably wouldn't notice a difference but depending on the workload you can check out the TPU reviews, see where each excels.
If I had to pick I think I would go with Kingston because it looks like the sustained write is slightly better. Also I've had a Kingston before which lasted a long time, never had a Samsung. But splitting hairs here.
