I just bought a KR7A about three or four weeks ago and have nothing but praise for it (very fast!) That said, the KT333's are just an upgraded KT266A - so I doubt you will find a good-brand KT333 that would be slower. Hammer's will probably be amazing - but they may not be here for another six months and they may cost alot when they do get here (have they announced anything about pricing?) Since I have been so busy setting up this system I haven't kept up real well with dates on things - is the KT333 actually in stores now? At any rate - I would suggest the KR7A-133R (or RAID version) or an KT333 board. If you get the KR7A, make sure to get good RAM and you can run it at DDR333 or higher if you want (but you'll have to overclock - mine is running at 185fsb w/ 512 of OCZ PC3000 RAM) Just my two cents.
btw - I just thought I would clarify, you won't have to overclock for it to be fast; only if you want to run at DDR333 or faster. It doesn't have a setting to run the RAM that fast, you just have to overclock the FSB.
