Which GTX 970 Model is the Best, and Why?

I'm considering purchasing a gtx 970, but am stuck with which model to get. Although all models seem great and are roughly the same price I was just wondering which one to get? :)

EVGA GTX 970 K|NGP|N Edition, extremely fast, especially for overclocking.

Gigabyte g1 gaming. Higher clocks, excellent cooler, and can have a 0 rmp fan mode.

Wishing leads to ambition and ambition leads to motivation and motivation leads to me building an illegal rocket ship in my backyard.
