Neither, to be honest.
Why is that? Dont quote me but shoudnt the OCZ 2GB (2 x 1GB) PC2-8500 1066MHz SLI-Ready Edition Dual Channel DDR2 (OCZ2N1066SR2GK) be able to run at 4-4-4-12 timings @ 500mhz? if so it seems a good purchase to me.

Oh yeah, don't get me wrong it's quality RAM but what chip would you be using it with that would require you to run way over 500FSB?

It's a bit of a case of diminishing returns over DDR2-800. I wouldn't see anything above PC2-1000 as a good buy.
Aye your probally right, but the Abit AB9 QuadGT & DFI INFINITY P965-S Dark are the only motherboards that hold the 1066 FSB Strap at 500+ FSB, so having ram which can hold speeds off 500 @ 4-4-4-12 timings for example can be rather beneifical @ 1:1 compared to say 400@ 4-4-4-12, how much performance gain well. . . thats another question. Infact thats a question I'm going to ask! I'll report back. :)
 
Get the OCZ 2GB (2 x 1GB) PC2-8500 1066MHz SLI-Ready Edition Dual Channel DDR2 (OCZ2N1066SR2GK).

It has more volt protection and the other ones cooling looks like a bit of a gimmick. That ram is a very good set as I mentioned in the review section :)
