you could also try to overclock the 3200 kit to close the gap. i use 4x8 3200mhz and managed to get them up to 3500mhz. i use coffee lake so it doesn't make as much of a difference, though.

most 8gb sticks will be single rank (at least it's safe to assume that way). using 4 of them will work as dual rank.
i hope a tech youtuber will test out the ballistix 16x2 with single rank and dual rank and see if there are actually any tangible differences, since i think crucial is claiming that there aren't any.

I would recommend saving that money for a future build, since you'd benefit more from an overall upgrade than a single component at this point. If you end up going with the next generation of CPUs, you would need DDR5 memory at that point.
Edit - to answer your question, memory compatibility depends on the cpu/motherboard. Not to worry, since each generation of memory lasts for quite some time and compatibility is not difficult to find. We've been on DDR4 since 2014 or something like that, and we're moving to DDR5 starting with Intel 12th gen (alder lake) and AMD zen 4. Laptops have a bit more variety (some using stuff like LPDDR) so I'm talking more desktop pcs.

I wish I could have scored some of that ballistix dual rank stuff, it would be perfect for my blackout build, it's also 16-18-18-38 vs the 16-19-19-39 of the gskill. Last shot, Newegg has it for $170 as well

the timetec memory on amazon is dual rank, but slower timings, so it might not be as desirable. no heat sinks on it so you would be able to put a low profile aftermarket heatsink if you wanted.
