GSkill ZX, HZ, HX - which to buy? need advice

I'd like to buy 2x1GB. I don't want Crucial Ballistix

My config:
MSI K8N SLI Platinum (5.06 bios) -> vmem max 3,1 v
A64 3000+ @ max 9x319@max vcore (usually 9x311@1,45vcore)

This 5.06 modded bios (best so far) offers 100, 120, 133, 140, 150, 166, 180, 200 (and 216, 233, 250) memory dividers

According to my A64@OC, mobo and its memory dividers what sholud I choose? GSkill: ZX? HZ? HX? Something else? And why?

GSkill:
ZX: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820231032
HZ: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820231021
HX: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820231034

I'd say ZX... it's cheapest and runs at better timings than HZ... HX is very expensive

The HZ stuff from the egg seems like very good stuff as people are getting around 280 fsb out of it. I just picked up a set myself;) If anything I'm pretty sure this ram will do the same tight timings (2-3-2-5) at DDR400 anyway.

Hmmm, why on GSkill www: http://www.gskill.com/ddr.html

HZ is classified as "Extreme"
ZX as "Value" (ok, they're the cheapest)
HX as "Value" too!!! They're the most expensive!! :eek: Why they're classified as Value?!
