Title says it all... debate and have some valid proof or even an opinion to why you like (__Insert brand name here__) better than the other ones.

I went with Mushkin, but all are good companies. Just find the look and timings you like, you won't be let down by any of these three.

look into customer service as well!

I have gone with G.Skill the past two builds simply because they offered the same level ram for less.

Corsair has treated me well so far. See no reason to switch.

They all make good RAM based on my experience. AnandTech and others have compared various brands of RAM with the same timings and frequencies and the performance was identical.

How much a DIMM or Kit will OC depends on many factors so debating that aspect is more subjective unless you test a lot of different configs and DIMMs to try to establish a trend. A trend however is not a guarantee or an absolute.

Ya I don't hate any company. For example I just built my friend a rig and went with Corsair XMS3 DDR3... I could have gotten the same ram module in Mushkin for $2 more, but why spend $2 more ^_^ I want to go get my some $1 burgers CHEA!!!
