Both brands are great. Just remember to keep the RAM that came with it though in case you need to send the laptop back to apple for repair (or apple store). They will require the RAM to be from Apple to honor applecare.

two bits of advice, 1. don't buy it from apple, its stupidly expensive 2. you don't void your warranty as such if you change it yourself. ie the fact you open your laptop and fiddle about wont void things. however if you accidentally break something non related to the ram it is not covered by warranty.
