I had to make the same decision a while back when I decided to aplly TIM to the stock cooler of my eVGA 8800GT. Of course I put it on the chip, but I debated putting it on the RAM.
What I did was use the little thermal pads as a buffer between the RAM chip and the TIM. So it was RAM chip then thermal pad then TIM then heatsink. It seemed to wprk out just fine as I used the card for several months after that with a nice 3-4C temperature drop.
