One is a Ripjaws for $5 more than the Potenza.
Another is a Team T-Force with RGB for another $5 more from that.

Geil been around for a long time. I'd say upper mid-range maybe.
Details:
Memory controllers on CPUs support multiple (typically two) 64-bit channels of bandwidth which allows data to be sent across more than one channel. The sticks must be matching else at best they will run at the specifications of the slowest module. It doesn't necessarily mean twice the performance benefits. 25-30% is possible in some applications. Depending on the purpose, the actual metric one cares about (like gaming FPS) may be minimally benefited.
2018 benchmarks by PurePC (translated to english [google.com]), comparing single, dual, or quad channel.

What about a total of 4 x 8?
Also, how can you determine whether the memory controller can support multiple channels?

So assuming your CPU supports only dual-channel, you're not going to get the performance benefit of adding two more dimms for a total of 3. And if you have 4 sticks, it will still run dual-channel mode only. But, you'll have more capacity.
Look at the CPU manufacturer's website and specs. Or a third party site or review can give details. Google, basically.
For example, here's info for the Ryzen 5 3600 [wikichip.org]; scroll to the memory controller section.

- So, if I add 2 x 8 to the current 1 x 8, will two of them work in dual channel? Or, because it is an odd number, do I get no dual channel benefits? Also, if having 3 x 8 offers no dual channel benefits, is it better to just get 1 x 16 to go with the 1 x 8?
- If I later add another 1 x 8, will the total 4 x 8 work in pairs of two dual channels?

Beware if you added a 16GB stick next to an 8GB stick... they are not matching. Even if it was the same brand and general model.. it's a different stick. You won't get dual-channel benefits.
I'm pretty sure that's right but someone else can say otherwise. You're best to take these questions to google, reddit, or other dedicated forums (including a mobo or memory manufacturer forum) for memory support but I'm doing my best to help.
tl;dr -- best to buy two sticks, once at the start of your PC build (or as a replacement if that's your scenario), and based on your needs for the life of your machine... then you will get the performance and capacity (and price) you desire all at once.
