So I have a dilemma, should I get more memory at the expense of the speed or should I go with the lower amount of memory with a higher speed?
more memory the performance increase from faster memory is marginal at best
If you're using it for video editing, rendering, or things like that, you should probably go for more memory.
What are you going to do with the ram?
Gaming, multitasking, modeling, UDK development, iOS development using Hackintosh on a virtual machine.
Whichever's cheaper, but that's just me.
8 gb.
there's rarely that large a difference in price between the 2 speeds that you could get more what system is this for

8GB. The performance increase from getting faster RAM is not even whole percents, and more RAM will last you longer.
The speed only matters if you're a overclocker
