Ultimately any SSD should work, give or take the odd issue that's usually fixable during installation as I understand it.
Which SSD are you looking at specifically?

Yes and I saw there are some issues with Intel SSDs
In fact I wonder if the difference between an NVMa and a SATA SSD will be noticeable on a laptop like Lafite 15 ?
I would like to take an SSD for which no issues have been reported, than I will choose depending on price and capacities

The advantage of an M.2 drive is that it keeps the 2.5" bay free should you need to add a cheap HDD (e.g. for a media collection, or whatever). Also it's general faster than Sata drives.
The SX6000 seems to behave, at least when tested on Ubuntu 17.10 as per:
And the 970 Evo Plus apparently also behaves:

So you've got a budget SSD and an top tier consumer SSD to pick from.

In fact I was first thinking about M2 256Go SSD for system + 1To HDD (Seagate 7200 rpm) but now I'm hesitating with a single SSD. I mainly store photos no videos
Samsung QEVO 1TO and ADATA SX6000 have similar prices but I don't know if one is a clearly better choice or not
Whereas Samsung Evo Plus 1To is much more expensive
