I'd assume that they will be sticking to ECC RAM since it's cheaper to get used parts. Non-ECCs are more expensive most of the time.
I hope so:-)
My two SYS E3 servers (1245v2) came with NON-ECC RAM. One received 4 months, the other 3 days ago.
Let's say, 4x8GB ECC memory is about $70 on ebay, while 4x8GB desktop memory is about $120. If I'm going to do server business I'd never go with desktop grade since it's more expensive.
EDIT: Well, I could be wrong.
