Best price/performance of the following RAM from amazon.ca?

Looking at getting a RAM upgrade from amazon sometime within the next 30 days using free shipping using the prime free trial and was wondering what of the following options would offer the best price/performance? For reference I'm using a Ryzen 3 1200 OCed to 3.9GHz (1.29v) on a ASRock AB350 Pro4 with a single 4GB stick of Corsair Vengence LPX 2400MHz 14-16-16-31 RAM (red color).

1x4GB stick of the same RAM i'm currently using for $46.99 (would give me a 8GB kit of 2400MHz): https://www.amazon.ca/Corsair-Vengeance-2400MHz-Memory-Systems/dp/B00UVN2C2A?keywords=corsair+vengeance+lpx+4gb+ddr4+dram+2400mhz+c14+memory+kit&qid=1547339126&s=Electronics&sr=1-1-fkmrnull&ref=sr_1_fkmrnull_1

1x8GB stick of the same RAM except black instead of red for $82.99 (Would give me 12GB total, 8GB in dual channel with the remaining 4GB in single channel using flex mode, if compatible): https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B00UVN2C8O/?tag=pcp0f-20

8GB kit of Ballistix Sport LT 2666MHz for $82.20: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B06XJ5LT72/?tag=pcp0f-20

8GB kit of Kingston HyperX Predator 3000MHz for $114.75 (3200MHz kit of the same RAM is available for $115.36): https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B01GCWQ2MY/?tag=pcp0f-20&th=1

OK, so while I don't have all the money right now for a 16GB Kit (maybe a 8GB kit I could afford ($70 in my checking account+$29 in my savings & $20 in my wallet for a total of $70/$99/$119)), I have a extra MSI Armour OC RX 470 4GB I could get working to sell/trade. I listed it on my local classifieds yesterday for best offer or trade for a new/unopened kit of 16GB 3000+MHz RAM so I could test the waters & only reply I got for it so far is a 16GB Kit of 2400MHz.

For the $99 total I have in my bank account I'm about $1 short of the cheapest 2x4GB Kit of 3000MHz on Newegg after shipping & tax: https://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820313776&nm_mc=AFC-C8JunctionCA&cm_mmc=AFC-C8JunctionCA-_-na-_-na-_-na&AID=10592396&PID=3938566&utm_medium=affiliates&utm_source=afc-PCPartPicker%2C+LLC&cjevent=974b98971c2811e9822e01030a240611

 or a 1x8GB stick would be cheaper & I could afford it, at Canada Computers I can get a 1x8GB G.Skill Aegis 3000MHz stick for $69.99, after tax it should come to about $79.09: https://www.canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=24_311_1326&item_id=100920
