With memory the brand is really irrelevant, just the batch and SKU. Buy memory where the RMA process is easy at the least.
Moreover, since you're using an ITX board, your DRAM tolerances will be a lot higher than on regular 4DIMM boards so even Micron E die can perform well, Hynix ICs and of course B-die.
Mostly it won't matter in your games if they are all set at 3800 say 16-18-18
 
High frequency RAM is a sham, thats why i went with 2400mhz

You get like 2 FPS more with 3200mhz.
As seen earlier, Hitman 2 is very memory and CPU sensitive. Tuning up your memory can make a big difference in this game, though that will only be the case when performance is CPU limited.

We see that performance using stock DDR4-3600 CL18 kits like the Corsair Dominator Platinum RGB or ADATA XPG Spectrix D50, in a single rank configuration is pretty horrible relative to what we see with the dual rank or manually tuned configurations. Shockingly we’re looking at a ~23% reduction in 1% low performance.

Also, if we look at the DDR4-3200 configurations using 2 and 4 sticks, we see that our 4 stick test configuration would be up to 17% slower if we removed two of the modules.

stop using Teh Sims as a benchmark for your system performance lol

 
Here are some figures

Intel cpu (all hardware was the same, freg was changed)

Hynix ram 1.4 v

speed.........read.............write(x1000 MB/s)
3200...........49.................51....
2400...........40.................41...
2133...........33.................33...
