I was only going to consider Crucial, Corsair and Mushkin but after reading these posts maybe eliminate the Corsair. Curiously, it has done well in reviews that I have read. I would be grateful for a link showing its lack of OC capability.
Mushkin is impossible to find. Currently the Redline series is the best overclocker you can get, but can't get it.
Corsair is luck (unless you buy dominator which I may do). Corsair bins D9 chips to Dominator and some to the Pro lines that don't match their standards for dominator. Their other lines are using promos and other chips that do not respond well to voltages, overclocks, and adjusted timings. Crucial uses all Micron chips but they do bin them for their higher performance DDR2-1000 line. Although with crucial I wonder if they don't keep some special bins of the D9 chips for their own memory (they are a division of micron after all). This may be the case with their 10th anniversary memory. DDR2-667 3-3-3 and some people run it at DDR2-1000 4-4-4
I've been reading and studying alot of info on DDR2 memory lately since I'm going to be buying replacements for my current Corsair which will go to another system (doesn't clock well anyway). I am looking at Corsair Dominator DDR2-800C4 or Crucial Ballistix. Still a little undecided.
