I'm with the "buy close enough chips" group here too. You don't need binned chips anymore today, that's from a decade ago.
Personally I run a Quad channel with equal size memory sticks, but two channels use single rank chips, and faster and the other two channels use dual rank and slower. The frequency is selected to match the lowest. Single rank and dual rank have to be on separate channels, and start filling slots with white and further away from CPU. That's all I need to care for my motherboard and Intel CPU.
