Which Gtx 970 should I get out of the ones I listed and why?

I'm considering all of these Gtx 970's and I don't know which one to get. Which one should i get and why? Also, from anyone that has a Gtx 970, will the coil whine be too much to bear?

Can't tell you which one to get, i have an asus strix but i havn't installed it yet. Apparently you can prevent coil whine by limiting frame rates to a reasonable amount if theyre high, but I don't have experience with it

Get the cheapest. Avoid the Zotac because it runs hot and will most likely throttle down even at stock speeds. The EVGA should also be avoided as the cooler is not as good as the others.
