I'd try to go with one of the better name brands, but even their valueram is usually good.. such as the Kingston stuff.

also, Mushkin and Corsair are good. buy whichever of those, you really can't go wrong.

I am using 512MB Mushkin PC3200 Level One on a GigaByte K8NNXP motherboard with an AMD 64 3000+ ... it rocks.

Good luck finding BH-5 today, esp at a serious premium.

BH-6 isnt all that hot. Mushkin is raping people over the coals for the price.

The new OCZ pretty much owns now anyways.

Mushkin, Geil and Corsair are all very good. Hard to pick, but I personally would go with the cheaper out of them

I've had no problems running with the Kreton or Mushkin value RAM that you've listed here. See Box#2 and #3 of my specs. Regarding BH5, forget it. You'll never find a 512mb stick without a heavy pricetag slapped on it.
