I don't think that anybody has shown a significant performance
difference on Apple memory vs a reasonable 3rd party supplier. Apple
may potentially have better quality controls but places like Crucial
essentially have lifetime warranties on their memory. I use Crucial at
home and at work.
I'd echo Nat's suggestion of going 3rd party for the memory and putting
in as much as you can afford.
(Modern Mac Minis and even my 13" Macbook Pro outperform my older
octacore tower on a per-core basis. They're quite capable machines.)

I would definitely recommend maxing out the memory, but don't buy it
from Apple - we were able to get 16GB from CDW for less than $100.
I think it is just that Apple only offers the highest end memory - CL and all
that.
