AFAIK, the only difference between the plain M5A97 and the Evo is that
the Evo has better VRM's.  If you're overclocking a 125w CPU, it's
definitely worth it; otherwise, probably not so much.

(I'm not, but I like headroom  ;)

Well, I'm running disks I was running in another system before.  I
installed them by having a running system on another disk, then
setting them up manually from there.  I'm kinda particular...

I'm running a Kingston KVR1600D3E11SK4/16G set.

http://www.amazon.com/Kingston-ValueRAM-1600MHz-KVR1600D3E11SK4-16G/dp/B007N9056A/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_S_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=3E7FYCA8C0KHE&coliid=I29FFUTSMXJ5YN

No problems with it.  But I wouldn't expect any.  Kingston's always
been good for me on the one side, and I really haven't seen near the
problems out of the boards some people have.  I suspect there's a
heavy contingent of people pushing weird bleeding-edge memory speeds
and failing...
