I'm really confused between the two and could really use some guidance pls!

This memory will be put in an Asus X99-A notherboàrd which supports Quad channel, along with an i7-5820k.

However If I get Dual channel I will have more room for for memory expansion, but then if I understand correctly I trade off performance.

Please tell me what you guys would personally do!

The X99-A has 8 slots, so look for a 4 stick set (single package) if you want to use quad channel (i.e. don't get two 2 stick packages as they offer no guarantees they will play together). Always best to get the full amount of DRAM you want/need in a single package
