I'm looking for thermal paste suggestions. I've considered Tuniq TX-4 and OCZ freeze, but I'd rather get some suggestions first.

AC's stuff is good, pretty much any non generic thermal paste is fine.

I've personally grown pretty fond of Tuniq TX-2, it gets a couple degrees more then AS5, and its pretty easy to work with. Cheap too.

Arctic MX-4. A 20g syringe (overkill even for a few regularly maintained PCs) can be found for $20 usually and it lasts a long time.

Coollaboratory Liquid Ultra, great for delidding and for use as normal paste, although it can be difficult to buy sometimes

Ugh, I used that in a few builds for people. It worked well, but it was a huge pain in the ass, and removing it was even worse than installation. The removal process made it not worthwhile to ever use again.
Some pastes are better than others for heat dissipation, but it's hard to beat the simplicity and reliability of something like AS5, MX-4, or TX-2. Ultimately, the only difference is 1-2 degrees celsius and that's not going to matter for most people even during heavy overclocking.
