I realize 2 of these aren't OCZ but I'm leaning towards the two OCZ kits. The other two are my runner ups.

I would like something that could run CAS4 at the speeds I am running now. I've been impressed that these sticks have handled 2.2v 960MHz and 5-5-5-15. But now I want something that can rock 960 and something around 4-4-4-15 at least. Which of the 4 should I pick up?

It's not on your list yet, but go with the OCZ Reaper DDR2 1150 PC9200 kit if you can pony up the extra bucks for it! This stuff rocks!
I have one set running on my quad at 528mhz/1056ddr with 4-4-4-10-25 timings at 2.4vdimm.
Just ordered another set tonight for my OCd X6800 rig.

I hope you get the same results that I had. As usual, your milage may vary. I don't think you will be dissapointed.
