Which memory voltage for MBP upgrade.

I was looking at the Crucial website for memory upgrades for my i5 MBP. Stepping up to 8gb, with a pair of 4gb sticks looks to be reasonable value and, depending on who you listen to, might be the max it can take anyway. I notice that crucial have two 8gb kits listed for my computer though. Identical specs (DDR3, 1333mhz, unbuffered, non-ECC etc.) except for the voltage, one is 1.35v and the other is 1.5v.
Which would be better, and why?
I can't find any reference to RAM voltages on the Apple site.

TIA.

I also found this problem when buying my RAM, and since its not really listed anywhere, I downloaded the crucial system profiler (form their site) ran it and it pointed me to the most suitable RAM for my machine
