Tough choice. I went for TCCD because of the low voltage since i have a Neo2.
The TCCD aren't really much more expensive since i'd have to buy a booster as well. I also would feel a bit uneasy to pump through 3.6v 24/7.
Performancewise TCCD's at 290ish and VX at 250 2-2-2 should be about on the same level i think.
If you have a DFI i'd go for the VX definatly though.
@Mailorder: You definatly have some sweet sticks there but before you show us tons of people with same results i'd say you are just lucky.

yeah, i'm lucky that yesterday i had a sudden urge to do some pointless (i thought) ram overclocking.
just encouraging people to take their heattrappers off and try again.
i'm just really excited! but yeah, it's too bad i don't have a gig of it, only 512.
back on track,
i'm a big fan of tight timings. when i bought that corsair, i was going to buy a kt400, and some ddr400, but there just wasn't any cl2.0 ddr 400 for under $$$238645423865.
also, i dont' think i'm lucky with the results, bh-6 chips mostly clock about the same as mine.

TCCD- Higher 1:1 clocks (290 and above) with less voltage (2.7-2.8) with loose timings (7-3-3-2.5)
UTT- 250ish 1:1 clocks with lots of voltage (3.5-4.0) with tight timings (5-2-2-2 1T).
Also TCCD is cheaper than UTT so you got to decide which one you want...
Hope that clarify's things. For choosing each chip I would go with these:
TCCD- G.Skill PC4400's, OCZ EL Plat. Rev. 2
UTT- OCZ VX or Mushkin Redlines (not out yet but looks promising)

No, the Rev 2 is TCCD. Here's a quote from the sticky at the top of the Memory Page:
