If you buy the corsair vengeance sticks separately, it is cheaper than buying the kit for some reason:

Great Deal from TransInt'l

It's a bit of a late response for the OP, but hopefully others may benefit.

Transintl offers 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 12800 RAM modules for $79 + $8 s&h here.

The lowest price I've seen on NewEgg is $115 w/ free shipping.
As a reference, OWC charges something like ~$150 for their Mid-2012 MacBook Pro kit.

A lot of people have reported that it failed Memtest, and they will corrupt over time. https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/920420/

Sure. But it seems that a lot of people are happy with it as well. If you need to save some cash, I don't think buying the set and replacing it until you get a good one is that big of a hassle, especially for how inexpensive they are.

What voltage and latency are best when upgrading a cMBP to 16gb? What brands are most reliable?

- That depends on which model MacBook Pro you have. In general, the lower the voltage and the lower the latency, the better.
I like Corsair, but any major brand should be fine.

Crucial is great memory, I've purchased many times from buy.com and never an issue. Their returns are pretty good too. Good luck.
