I don't think there is a big difference and DDR2-1066 will allow such a high FSB at stock RAM speeds, any ability to run much above rated speed is usually not necessary.
 
What mobo will you be getting? If it has a P35 chipset on it, do not get DDR2-1066 RAM. There are compatibility issues with that chipset and that speed of RAM, although you can put in DDR2-800 and oc it.
