Lower latency the better. As long as you are comparing the same speed Ram modules. For speed the 1866 will be a little faster. If you are planing on getting just 8GB of ram get 2x4GB set as you will have more performance because of systems running memory in dual channel. 2 channels at the same time = 2 lane road, 1 8GB stick = 1 lane road. Now if you are going to get 16GB of ram get a set that has 2x8GB stick in it as they are tested together and are guaranteed to work together.
