I have a motherboard that supports up to 32GB @ 2400MHz memory and i have to choose between corsair and crucial ballistix.

Crucial is a 2x8 kit, while corsair is sold separately. Price is the same.

Corsair Vengeance LPX Black 8GB (1x8) 2400MHz DDR4 CL14, CMK8GX4M1A2400C14
Crucial Ballistix Elite 16GB (2x8GB) 2666Mhz DDR4 CL16 - BLE2K8G4D26AFEA

Which one is better?

The crucial kit would be better then,since it's a matched pair. Even though it has higher speeds, it should still be simple enough to tell it to run at 2400mhz to match the motherboard.

Don't mix 2 ram kits, what do the corsair 2x8gb ram kits cost?
There's only like a 90% chance mixing ram kits works (sounds high, until you're that 10%)
And what motherbaord do you have? do some research and see if it's possible to get the crucial ram to run at it's rated speed.
