They're agreeable.

There is nothing wrong with these modules.
The tall fancy heat spreaders do very little for performance.
What I would say though is to install RAM in pairs, so if you want 8 GB get a 2 x 4 GB kit and if you want 16 GB get a 2 x 8 GB kit.
Using one dimm limits the memory bandwidth available to your CPU (12.5 GB/s with one dimm or 25 GBs/s with two).

Just make sure you buy them in dual-channel.
