Which set would you run? One set will be in my 8700k system and the other will go into my 7700k system. Used mostly for some gaming and light video editing.

I have 16gb of this for my 8700k system on asus rog z370 mb.

G.SKILL TridentZ Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 4000 (PC4 32000) Memory (Desktop Memory) Model F4-4000C18D-16GTZSW

Or 32GB (16gb x 2) of this.

G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 32GB (2x 16GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 3200 (PC4 25600) Desktop Memory Model F4-3200C14Q-32GVK

Could use some more info on your uses specifically, but just on this info I would say keep the faster 16gb kit for gaming and the larger ram kit for the video editing, as that's more likely to be ram hungry. That said, if one of those systems can actually reach past 3200 speeds on the memory controller and the other can't, that may be a deciding factor as well.
 
If you haven't bought that 4x8gb kit yet I'd stick with the same spec 2x16gb kit - room for more once prices come down, and it's you won't gain any bandwidth with 4 sticks since you'll be stuck with dual channel.
 
Ohh shit I linked the wrong memory, the 4 stick kit I linked should be 2 16gb sticks. I will fix that link. I already have here both those kits linked above. I guess it does not matter really what system I put them in, I will just put the 16gb kit in my 6700k system, that one is used less for gaming/editing etc. I will use the 32gb in my 8700k system, that is the most used system I have.
