I prefer "Infineon", but it is not on your list :-/ .
The problem with infenion is that it is expensive, but I come to believe that it is worth the extra-money.
If you have the money to spend do not go for OEM better get yourself a piece of "brand-ware" (I don't know the word for it :-/ ), and enjoy the better performance ;-) .

Kingston is my choice too. But I'd go for OCz if was deeper into overclocking.

Crucial is my choice. Be aware that Kingston makes different classes of ram. I've had problems with their Valueram, which I suspect comes from whatever lowest bidder they find.

Yeah Kingston make differents Ram types, ValueRam is a low cost Ram but with Latencies biggers = system slower
Try using Kingston HyperX RAM it makes the difference... and let you made a high overclock (on a mobo suporting OC)

Kingston, Crucial are good and well-known.
Meanwhile, G. Skill would be a very interesting choice and would bring you much amazement if you have a chance to try it. :yesnod:
