Assuming that I'm actually going to use it and not just have it to resale...

If I am running a 64-bit OS, I'd go for the 6GB's of DDR2 800.
If I am running a 32-bit OS, I'd opt for 4GB's of DDR2 800.

Depending on the individual specs of the two brands, it's usually not a great idea to mix & match.
The thing is that you didn't give us much information in your OP.
