If you expect to need a ram upgrade beyond 16GB, which is unlikely except for heavy users, then go for a single stick, take the few % performance hit, and save money on an upgrade later - when you can just plug a second 16GB stick in [vs having to remove 2x 8GB sticks and replace them with 2x 16GB sticks]

The actual loss might be almost nothing for most games, and over 20% in some demanding tasks but it would depend on the CPU, memory bandwidth, and program being used.
The more data that needs to be loaded onto the SSD the slower the system becomes. With 16GB of RAM the system is still able to produce 9290 MIPS where the 8GB configuration is over 3x slower The answer is yes, you can use 2 16GB and 2 8GB RAM together.
