Which one of these is better overall and better for OC'ing?

I thought that the 3700 would be better but the CAS timings are higher? I thought it was better for them to be lower? But, which one of these is best for OC'ing?
 
Neither are ideal. Both are over-costy memoy with inferior chips. Kingston Hyper-X PC3200 (w/o an A in the product code; ex. KHX3200K2/1G instead of KHX3200AK2/1G) or Kingston Hyper-X PC3000 should offer better memory chips (BH-5) then found in Hyper-X PC3500 (CH-5) or Hyper-X PC3700 (Samsung?).
