Does your MOBO allow memory voltage adjustments? Some of the memory you listed runs at JEDEC spec/stock 1.8v and others require more than that.

Yes it does.
 
You should be good with anything on that list then. If you don't plan to OC, and $10 or so is not an issue then you'll do well with a CAS4 kit.
 
Since you're not overclocking I'd just get the cheapest one. Patriot and Corsair are both good brands.
