IMO... I would avoid the Crucial Ballistix line based on past reliability reputation of their DDR2 & DDR3 products.

Given your parameters (DDR3-1600, Ivy Bridge, Non-OC), I would choose This, This, This or This

I have the first set (G.SKILL Ares CL10 DDR3-1866) in a few-month-old Ivy Bridge Z77 system and it's been fantastic. Another very good choice is this G.SKILL Ares CL9 DDR3-1600.
