Which is better?

[zzoap]

which do you prefer>>>ram with high frequency low latency OR high latency low frequency?

Well, basically with the prices of RAM right now:

Capacity > Frequency/Latency

It's not worth nit picking over Frequency and Latency when you can just get another stick for 15 bucks. Plus, the difference is negligible anyways.

Anything beyond the 1600/1866mhz range isn't really going to effect the real world performance of things. But the difference between 11-11-11-28 and 9-9-9-24 can be. So I like decent timings. at a decent frequency. But the choice is ultimately yours. The happy medium these days is the 9-9-9-24@1600mhz however and those kits are pretty decently priced.
