I'd take the default drive and pick your own SSD. You can typically get a much better quality one for the same price they were going to charge you for the upgrade.

Well typically you get an option to choose both the brand and model of SSD during checkout which is fine for many SSDs. You just can never tell if the "upgrade" cost is actually of any value or if it's a big ripoff.
The biggest issue is you don't get the scrutiny you could get with buying your own drive at retail (such as checking for 24 or 32nm nand in a Vertez 2, getting an X-25M G2 revision, etc.).
