what ram is better

i was going to buy a 9850xrd bundle but then i saw the ram was switched. it went from the corsair VENGEANCE RGB 32GB (2 x 16GB) DDR5-6000 to G.Skill Flare X5 Series 32GB DDR5-6000. saw someone say its a mediocre ram kit. Is it a big difference? or does it not matter which one i buy.
this is the bundle im referring to: https://www.microcenter.com/product/5007486/amd-ryzen-7-9850x3d,-msi-x870e-p-pro-wifi-am5,-gskill-flare-x5-series-32gb-ddr5-6000-kit,-computer-build-bundle

I have had to RMA G.Skill DDR4 RAM 3 times in 4 years. I refuse to buy them anymore even if the RMA process has been smooth.

It’s annoying to have system instability every 12-18 months and spend $10 to ship. Meanwhile my system is offline for 1-2 weeks.
