Voltage. The first set runs at a significantly lower voltage for stock speeds, meaning you're more likely to be able to overclock further. That said, in real world applications you won't notice any difference. Go for the cheapest.

I reckon the VLP one seems to be thinner than the other one, but I presume this allow less heat to be collected from the heatsink, am I right?

 

Thanks

Heat spreaders are completely immaterial on RAM and won't affect their operation in any positive - or negative - way regardless of their size, so get whichever one you like the most.
