Corsair Vengeance, Its also low profile incase you have a large cpu cooler.

The very best is corsair dominator platinum 2x8gb with 2133 hertz frequency and cas 9 latency. The ram is also very overclockable as well. the vengeance pro version of this (with the same specs) is also very good. The dominator platinum so come with cool light effects. If you don't want these I would go for the vengeance pro. These are the best options if you are using liquid cooling of a slim air cooler. If you are using a massive dual tower cpu cooler you will need the low profile vengeance littlesackninja linked.

It also depends on application... If you're just gaming, the latency and frequencies can be thrown out because you'd just be paying a premium on like 3-5 fps. Money that could basically be spent elsewhere to improve your system. As long as the ram is 1600Mhz and cas9, it won't create too many problems.
If you're doing a bit of stuff that would effectively take advantage of the lower latency and frequencies, then the extra cost could be justified.
