Do you mean for reference vs non-reference in general or a comparison of the non-reference coolers?

Most people will say the Gigabyte Windforce 970 is the best, and it doesn't look too shabby either.

Here's a ranking of GTX 970 for myself I dunno about others but this is what I see as the best options

 

1. Gigabyte G1 Gaming GTX 970 (Highest overclock on stock voltage 1589mhz) - this is my baby * strokes the sweety*

2. MSI GTX 970 Gaming (Twin Frozr 5 - Zero frozr fans don't turn on till 60 degrees clocks up to 1515mhz) - comes with free mouse pad

3. Gigabyte Windforce X3 GTX 970 (lower priced version of the G1 no backplate and no LED windforce logo - clocks up to 1521mhz)

4. Asus Strix GTX 970 (bigger pipes,backplate and fands won't turn on till 60 degrees) - clocks up to 1527mhz

5. Gigabyte Refrence GTX 970 (Titan cooler) . overclocks to 1479mhz (my dad's and look super sexy) Sadly Discontinued by Gigabyte

6. Zotac Omega GTX 970 (full metal shroud and silent) overclocked to 1511mhz

7 Zotac AMP ed GTX 970 (not sold in my country sorry)

 

All overclocks were done on stock voltage
