Patriot is another (their performance RAM seems quiet good value at the moment)
Seeing that most brands offer a limited lifetime guaranty I don't think you can go too far wrong TBH (better off picking a retailer with a good fast returns procedure).
Just run some memory diagnostics everytime you install new RAM to ensure compatibility and check for any faulty items.

You need to create a boot disk containing either....
This: Memtest86+ - Advanced Memory Diagnostic Tool
Or this: Microsoft Online Crash Analysis
Should run a test on the system BEFORE installing new RAM (to rule out any existing problem - some of which you maybe unware of), then run it after installing the new RAM....leave it running overnight using the extended test option if you want to be ultra sure. It will also ensure the memory is compatible with the mobo and settings in the BIOS are correct.
