if you use the formula
latency/frequency*1000=nanoseconds
that is on wikipedia then the 1866 performs the best on the things it is 9 for. The thing it is 10 for it is slower than the 2133.
However bandwidth is more of an issue with prime95 I believe. The 2133 obviously wins with that. In dual channel I am not sure what is required to get the best out of the cpu. 1866 might be enough bandwidth but I would personally go for the 2133 as there is so little price difference. Memory is so cheap currently. Unfortunately I am still stuck on ddr2 myself.

I believe mfaktx does not use memory that much, while CUDALucas does.
