Best 4GB RAM for Macbook Pro 13"?

[seong]

Sorry, I'm not the type that asks questions like this, but since I live in Japan, any sort of international shipping will cost extra $40, which could be worth 2GB of RAM. Anyways, what are best RAMs for Macbook Pro 13"? I would like to ask for any amazon links (it's doesn't have to be from amazon.co.jp, because some of them are available in Amazon Japan. I can re-search for those RAMs.)

The Unibody MacBook Pros use Intel's Core 2 Duo and Dual Core iX CPUs and all models use and accept 204-pin 1066 MHz PC3-8500 DDR3 SO-DIMM SDRAM and in some cases even 204-pin 1333 MHz PC3-10600 SO-DIMM DDR3 SDRAM.

Upgrading RAM to 4GB

Just like the title says, is it better to have two 2GB RAM or one 4GB RAM? I was thinking that if I had one 4GB RAM, then when the time comes, I would just buy another 4GB RAM, and put it in the second slot. Any reasons not to?

I know THAT far, but I would like to see some recommendations.

A single 4GB DIMM will mean your CPU is running in single channel mode, which will cost you some performance.

Thanks for a real quick response fat jez!
I should have figured that out by myself.

I found out that Amazon Japan doesn't have any of the Crucial RAMs in stock, so I'm left with these two for now. Which one is the better one?

From the little I could work out (my Japanese is non-existent 😱), either should be fine, although neither would be my first choice.
