Questions about RAM Channels

I watched the As Fast As Possible about RAM Channels and If it answered my question I missed it (sorry)
Okay so. I'm looking at populating the RAM slots on my new build and I wanted 32 gigs of RAM. It's a Dual Channel Board so I'm going for 8x4 But my question is.
Is it better for me to buy a single Kit of 8x4? or should I buy two ( of the exact same sticks) 8x2? Is there a difference?

There won't be a difference, because you would essentially be buying the same memory.

The only difference is that they might have tested the 8x4 kit in quad channel (as opposed to two times dual channel, which you're far more likely to run).

Ah, Thanks! I was contemplating just grabbing 2x16 for future upgradability but As far as I see, this RAM doesn't come in that format, and I don't see me needing 64GB of RAM until it's a standard requirement in the far off future anywho.
