Ram compatibility isn't really an issue. Any 6x4GB kit of ddr3 from a good company (corsair, gskil, kingston, etc) will be perfect. If you want to get picky then it really just comes down to aesthetics, brand preference, price/GB.

Short answer: The kit you linked should work perfectly

Workstation: 3930k @ 4.3GHz under an H100 - 4x8GB ram - infiniband HCA  - xonar essence stx - gtx 680 - sabretooth x79 - corsair C70 Server: i7 3770k (don't ask) - lsi-9260-4i used as an HBA - 6x3TB WD red (raidz2) - crucia m4's (60gb (ZIL, L2ARC), 120gb (OS)) - 4X8GB ram - infiniband HCA - define mini  Goodies: Røde podcaster w/ boom & shock mount - 3x1080p ips panels (NEC monitors for life) - k90 - g9x - sp2500's - HD598's - kvm switch

Just keep in mind things like heatsinks from your CPU cooler when looking at high profile RAM such as the Corsair Vengeance - You don't want to go buy something that wont fit.

There is always the slight chance something funky will happen. It "should" run at dual channel if he doesn't get triple channel ram but somtimes its just funky. Safer to get triple channel

Go for a triple channel ram. The one that you linked above is great but keep in mind if you are using a big heatsink, then the ram you linked above probably won't work. If you do have one, buy low profile triple channel ram that is clocked at 1600MHz or higher.
