Default One small question about the RAM

I will need to buy each and everyone of you a beer for having to put up with all my questions

The thing about RAM is this: in the past, I was advised to take Corsair because of the reliability/quality. So this was originally planned:

When receiving offers the shop told me I shouldn't take Corsair but Kingston, as 'Kingston has much better compatibility with your mainboard (Asus P5Q-E) than Corsair'. So they recommended 'Kingston HyperX DDR2 4096MB PC6400 Matched Pair':

I've already found out their statement is rubbish (the QVL - Qualified Vendors List) for the mobo clearly also lists Corsair, but one question remains: should I worry about the brand? I mean, is Corsair better/worse in your opinion than Kingston?
