Re: Ram amount and speed?
In terms of frequency it makes almost no difference performance wise. So go for the lower Frequencies. I happily overclock with 32GB and I'd while expect some loss in absolute max overclock from 64GB, but getting beyond 4.0 should still be no problem.
However, I think you could save a lot of money by altering your usage patterns. 1500 tabs and a 100 flash videos(this will always cause errors flash gets very crashy with multiple flash objects open). Use bookmarks, there's no way you're accessing 1500 pages and 100 videos regularly enough to need them left open, certainly not while gaming too. If you do this you can drop half that RAM and buy a multi-terabyte hard drive or 2 for storage and then your SSD won't be constantly full. A constantly full system drive will cause significant slowdown, doubly so with an SSD and can cause errors with certain programs. If you really require that much space on the C drive, switch to a larger mechanical drive, if you desperately need speed and size then you could consider RAID.
Error rate is to do with stability, if the system is stable you'll get 0 errors regardless of specs.
For Manufacturer I always go for corsair, but you're correct there's little difference between named brands.

1500+ tabs. The mind boggles. Why?

The only thing I can think of is some kind of stability testing, but of what?
To the OP, error-free heavy memory usage + overclocking do not mix. If you truly need error-free (although for browsing even with 1500+ tabs, why?) then you need ECC which for Intel usually means Xeon. ECC memory is expensive as well.
