The SSD will do a lot. It's not really a "mod" persay, as it's supported by Sony in terms of instructions even being provided by Sony on how to upgrade your hard drive.
In pub matches, if I decide I want to spawn a vehicle, I am always the first in the queue. I've noticed I rarely have many people spawned by the time I get in now. Honestly, I only really did it to load the game back up faster after the game crashes or I disconnect in Planetary Conquest. But I've also found the game is more stable on an SSD, and less crashes seem to happen as well.
I like to check the player list at the start of matches these days, since there's no war barge time, so I rarely end up pressing much advantage from the SSD on the field, personally.

For the love of God, lag switches do not work in DUST. You have never been lag switched in DUST. It's just called plain old lag.
The turbo controllers were a big deal with the Tactical Assault Rifle, though they nerfed the crud out of it.

Go cheap, basically. I went with a Kingston SSDNow V300. The 120 GB version is $75. You can get the 60 GB version for $50 if you don't need a ton of space.

Lag switches work in any game that has a network accessed for multi-player. The trick is simple yet seems to have passed many by because the Myth is that they only work on the host during LAN parties. Probably because that was where they were initially used/discovered.
I've truncated most of the rest of your wrongness for brevity.
Lag switches don't work in DUST. Lag switches only work on games where the match is hosted on one of the players' machines, like Call of Duty often is. The host goes to the lowest latency player, who then flips the lag switch so that the game is running on their machine, but everyone accesses it slower.
Since DUST matches run off of central servers, the only person a lag switcher hurts in DUST... is himself.
