Arctic Silver 5 or OCZ Ultra 5+ Silver

Which of these should I get? I dont want to spend $4.00 on shipping... I don't need a 12 Gram tube, since I wont be using it that much, unless of course Silver thermal compounds last a loooong time. The ratings on the AS and the OCZ are the same. Which should I get? I will most likely put it on the Volcano 11+ I will get in a few weeks.

Either one is fine. Get the cheaper one.

A note: I bought a syringe of Arctic Silver (don't remember if it's the original or AS II) about 4 years ago and it's still good. Been using it through about 65 builds and it still looks and feels the same.

either one is fine. OCZ Ultra is made by AS5 and there is a high chance that they are the same
