Best SMTP?

[K]

So i'm sending more and more emails from different sites and projects and I currently use SendGrids SMTP....However does anyone recommend anything bigger, cheaper and better?

Honestly i don't think you can find a cheaper solution with high delivery to inbox than Sendgrid. I have 30% open rate on sendgrid.
You could also give it a try with mandrillapp.com and see if it's good for you. I had around 15% open rate with mandrill and i've switched to sendgrid. I got friends who has over 30% open rate with sendgrid.
You can also try to use amazon SES but then again you need your email software to support amazon SES since you can't send using SMTP protocol.

PS: I have integrated amazon SES into my newsletter app and i might add that to the commercial version latter one too.

Cheers

Well, for today this option is the best imho.

Really depends on what you need out of your ESP and how many emails you send per month.

I'm looking to send up to 300k a month for under $150 - any suggestions?

I would suggest mandrill (by mailchimp). It's transactional, but you can custom code an interface to handle everything.
