Can't decide between these. They are all using the Micron D9 chips I am almost positive. Going into a E6600/eVGA 680i/8800 GTX build, high overclocking in mind on air. Going to be ordering today so any suggestions would be great. (Buffalo is out of stock @ Newegg)

I'd pick either the Patriot or the Crucial. AFAIK, those Corsairs use Elpida chips.
 
I would get the Crucial since it is definitely going to have Micron chips, and the Buffalo is currently out of stock at the Egg.
 
I was about to post the same question. Looks like Patriot is the choice at $236 AR.
