Same price. Which one should I buy?
There's also a version of these same RAM floating around that has "Ryzen" in it's title.
I don't know does that mean those versions are specifically to be used with Ryzen CPU.
I do plan on getting the Ryzen 3600.

Everything I've read has said get the fastest RAM (highest MHz) you can with Ryzen.

Which is more important: speed or latency?
Based on in-depth engineering analysis and extensive testing in the Crucial Performance Lab, the answer to this classic question is BOTH! Speed and latency both play a critical role in system performance, so when looking to upgrade we recommend:
Step 1: Identify the highest memory speed supported by both your processor and motherboard (including overclocking profiles).
Step 2: Select the lowest latency memory that fits within your budget at that speed, remembering that a superior (i.e. lower) latency means superior system performance.
