Crucial is a respected brand and is the consumer arm of Micron, the large RAM and flash memory manufacturer. I've never had any problems with compatibility with them and have always performed to spec.
As for the installation, putting two per bank and going for dual-channel mode would definitely work. But I believe that the memory controller also supports a "Flex Mode" where you fill one bank with two sticks, and the other banks with one stick. This should give you tri-channel for 12 GB and single channel for 4 GB, which depending on your usage may be faster.
