More DDR4 RAM or less DDR 5 RAM?

Question

I am planning to upgrade my PC to i9 gen 12 for AE and PPro. The MB has an option of DDR 5, 6000 MHz. Puget systems recommends DDR 5 for 9-10% better performance. While Abode says more RAM the merrier.

My workflow involves using multiple AE dynamic link layers within Premiere pro. These layers may contain DSLR HD/4K footage, color grading, transitions, effects, color keying and multiple AE dynamic link simple animations of text , lower thirds, particles, swishes, popping icons, motion effects, tracked footage.

I have a budget to either purchase 128 GB DDR4 or 64 GB of DDR5. Any insights into which option would be more prudent? Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure about DDR5, I haven't heard much about it, but I would go with more RAM = better. DDR4 is still very suitable, and DDR5 is still very new. In my opinion, 128GB would be the way to go.
