I second the recommendation for NVMe for a boot/program drive since pretty much all boards have support for it now and prices have come down a LOT. It's a LOT faster in benchmarks. 3500 MB/s read on a decent PCIe Gen.3 SSD vs 525 on the fastest SATA SSD I had previously.
I should stress that I didn't find it to be a night and day difference in bootup times going from SATA to NVMe. It's definitely fast as hell, but it wasn't the same quantum jump I saw going from a hard drive to a SATA SSD.
