Again, this is in my experience with these brands, i have used all of them and this is how i grade them.

If you do not think this to be true make your own list with the brands you have used.
Not to get into a nit picking argument, but you can't really generalize RAM in one list. Theirs RAM for overclocking and gaming, theirs RAM you'd want to use in a server, then theirs RAM you'd want for your basic desktop that does day to day tasks. It just depends on the application.

In the real world, for a non-overclocked or gaming computer, you're going to be fine with any of the brands you listed, it's not really going to matter what one. Sure, you may have to RMA a bad stick, or you might get a bad OC'ing stick that's underperforming, that happends regardless of the RAM you use.

Like Trotter said, for his celly, he'd be fine with some value RAM. Kingston has a good series of ValueRAM that I've put into a few rigs for people over the years
