These RAMs are OK?

Buying my dad a MBP i5. I want to upgrade its memory. Any of these sticks will do, correct?

These will work:

G.SKILL 4GB 204-Pin DDR3 SO-DIMM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10600) Laptop Memory Model F3-10600CL9S-4GBSQ

G.SKILL 4GB 204-Pin DDR3 SO-DIMM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Laptop Memory Model F3-10666CL9S-4GBSQ

CORSAIR 4GB 204-Pin DDR3 SO-DIMM DDR3 1333 Laptop Memory Model CMSO4GX3M1A1333C9

Kingston 4GB 204-Pin DDR3 SO-DIMM DDR3 1333 Laptop Memory Model KVR1333D3SO/4GR

G.SKILL 4GB 204-Pin DDR3 SO-DIMM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Laptop Memory Model F3-12800CL9S-4GBSK

and so forth

just watch out for 204pin DDR3 and it will work.
If you can find some look for 1.35V RAM supposedly work on 2011 MBPs and it reduces total system power by about as much as an HDD/SSD consumes.
I found one for almost the exact same price as the 1.5V version and if the price is almost the same it is worth it. Not if it is much more expensive.

True, but the speed and CAS latency are also important.

1333 MHz and 1600 MHz will definitely work as long as the CAS Latency is 9 and the memory is "unbuffered". Some 1866 MHz have been reported to work in the 2011 Mini, but I haven't seen any confirmations of those working flawlessly in the 2011 MBP. I do recall a thread about a user having issues with 1866 MHz in his 2011 MBP.

Yes. 1.35 Volt RAM will also work as long as it meets all of the other criteria.

OK, you completely lost me! So can i get the 1600mhz and 1.35V with the refurbed macbooks from early 2011? What do you mean by "other criteria?"

Yes. By other criteria I mean:
Non ecc, unbuffered, 204 pin

Will F3-12800CL9S-4GBSK DDR3 1600MHz work on new iMac 27"

I see it has something around the module, does it fit at all ?
