With a R3 1200, IF you aren't looking to upgrade it to a R5 and particularly R7 later, pretty much any of the B350 boards will work fine. It doesn't pull enough amperage in OC to cause issue even for 'insufficient' VRM's. I would look for price and features desired.
As to RAM, check the mobo QVL list and get something from there, if possible. First gen Ryzen and chipset were very particular about RAM selection.

2x4gb or 1x8gb any difference and which is best..

If you are buying it all at once, go with two sticks of matched RAM in a capacity you see working with. If you have a budgetary constraint and will be able to buy more within a short amount of time, get the single larger stick and then buy a matched one within a few weeks.
If you are looking to upgrade the amount then you basically waste money on lower sized sticks.
