SSD woul definitely bring the power, speed & sound benefits of flash. It only lacks the perfect recovery of a read-only root fs. A big improvement over spinning media nevertheless.
The writes should be fine really, worst case is that it will fail to write at some point.
CF is really no magic bullet either, I have had a cheap CF card fail with a embedded install on it which prevents writes. So that is no panacea either.
Swings the other way too though. The Apacer 133x 1GB card I purchased in 2006 which has been in my development box since that day with a full install on it, has been fine and has not failed me yet.
Regarding reserved unused space on an SSD, Anand recently recommended 20% reserved, and more recently stated 'the more you reserve, the better it will perform' (paraphrasing). Note also that some SSD's already reserve space, though mostly the higher-end ones.
Sidenote. "/Better performance/Better performance _over time_". Not in the absolute sense. Just a few GB will do in pretty much all cases. Not like you are writing gigabytes at a time with squid either.
