I wanted a RoG Claymore, ended up with a K65 RGB (prefer smaller board = more desk space)

 

Heard good things about the Logitech also

I personally have a K70 Lux, got MX Reds (they were $50 cheaper for some reason) rather than MX Browns, and Im kinda interested in trying MX Blacks (heavier version of Reds)

It really depends what kind of feel you want. If you have never had a mechanical keyboard, have a try first.

If they are available in nearby shops, go and and see if you can try out each one to find the one that matches your liking.

You should take some time and research the keyboards, don't forget to take time looking at the keyboard software too. Some keyboards have nice customizing RGB software, while others you will be stuck with preset RGB profiles only. Do you want to be able to save the profiles on the device or be forced to use the cloud. Youtube has all kinds of videos showing off user created  custom profiles for select mfg RGB keyboards.

Another thing to add is switch testers, they can really seal the deal.
