Which GTX 970 version should I buy?

Put all of them on auto-notify and buy one as soon as it becomes available.  If you aren't over clocking the 970's are quite similar, out of the box speeds might vary slightly, and each card has it's own set problems.  Chalk that up to the inherent risk of being an early adopter.  I had just about the same list as you and ended up getting a Gigabyte G1, I would have been happy with any of those cards.

 

The One that is in stock - that seems to be the right one these days.

 

Any are good. I personally stick with Gigabyte and EVGA for my Nvidia cards. That G1 will be plenty cool and quiet. 

I agree with both of you. I'll get the one that is in stock.

I'm having trouble deciding which 970 to buy, the MSI Gaming, the Gigabyte G1 or the ASUS Strix? Please take silence and power consumption under consideration. 
Thanks.
