G.Skill has a much lower failure rate.
this is a very nice set of memory here: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231621&ignorebbr=1

I would say g.skill. I use corsair reluctantly in my current set up. Purchased an 2x8GB set in January and have had to RMA twice.

What will you be doing with the rig, if strictly gaming 1866 is plenty since gaming primarily uses DRAM as a data conduit, if doing things like heavy mutitasking, Video, Imaging, CAD, VMs or the like might go faster 2133-2400 or even higher...2x4GB is entry level for gaming, I generally start at 16GB for new Haswell builds....I'd look to the Tridents from GSkill, depending on budget their Sniper line is my #2 choice

i bought two sets of 2x4GB kits of corsair vengeance RAM last November. 16GB in total. took 5 RAMs in total over 3 months to get a working batch of RAM. the replacement RAM was being dropped shipped by FedEx directly from their factory in China! so it wasn't like i was getting someone else's used memory. these were brand new sticks fresh off the assembly line.
and this isn't the first time. i bought Corsair laptop memory not too long ago and it too had to be RMAd. and i had a 450W gold rated Corsair PSU blow up while powering a lowly Dell Optiplex 3020 system.
in any case, i'm never buying corsair junk ever again.
