The CORSAIR one has better timings but the difference between them(the timings) arent much, so i say go for the one which is cheaper as MrsBytch said

------------------------------ Q6600@3.4+ TT V1 Cooler,SAPPHIRE HD 4870X2,ASUS MAXIMUS FORMULA,4GB OCZ DDR2 800,LG W2452V 1920x1200

This looks like an easy pick to me, buy the Corsair. I've used both Corsair and OCZ and like them both, so I've no bones to pick. Cheaper price and better timings make Corsair the number one, here.
