Best?

I use the Corsair 1600MHz XMS3 3x2GB in mine and I've had no issues.

I've got a GA-X58A-UD5 and I've got 6GB Crucial Ballistix DDR3-1333. Also works just fine.

Crucial says that all this RAM is guaranteed to work with your board.

Yup just use the link Fraz provided or the equivalent tool from Corsair etc.

Any amount in triple kits is fine, 'best' will depend on your criteria.

Thanks to all, is there much difference between 8-8-8-24 and 9-9-9-24 latency, and will either work?

Either is specified to work, for peace of mind use the tools mentioned above to find kits that have been tested working with the motherboard. And no, there's not much difference between them.
