If you trust yourself to not screw up the application at all, then use silver.

personally I'm a bit of a klutz so i use ceramic

You could sure use Ceramique on the CPU.... it's non-conductive, so like Dozer said, it's safer to use. I think performance is pretty close with either one.

Personally, I like Arctic Cooling MX-2. It's supposed to perform better than AS5 and is non-conductive as well. I didn't realize this last part until after I used it on my mosfets and made a small mistake. after pulling my hair out worrying that I might have missed some while cleaning it up, I looked it up on-line and found out that I didn't have anything to worry about.

edit: found this review also... Coollabs Liquid Pro vs Ceramique vs AC MX2 vs AS5
