100hz vs 144hz vs 1440p vs 1080p vs 34inc vs 49inch vs ips vs gsync/freesync - where should i put my money? I've got a few questions

   

Looking for a new monitor and i've kinda gotten into the ultrawide or maybe even a super, although i've stepped back from the super abit because of the 1080p wall vs price.
I might wait til black friday and see if one goes on sale, but I have to pick 1-2 to camp.
Freesync vs Gsync for a gtx 1080? i think it should be fine either way but im not sure!
100hz for half the price of 144hz? Am i getting bang for that xtra buck?
100hz ips or 144hz va?
how important is cd/m2(600 seems juicy high) compared to other things?
1440p 21:9 or 1080p 32:9?
is super ultra wide to much? also question the loss in pixels from increased size and lower res. seems like i answered this but i'm stil open to change my mind.

Screens are listed by price (increasing) from about 600$us to 1300$us - I found some cheaper monitors but seems i lose out on features to much.
But i'm definately open to a bang for buck suggestion, if you have any experience with something that hits most of the good spots.


MSI 34" Optix MAG341CQ 100hz - 8bit - cd/m2 250 - UWQHD 3440 x 1440 - va  600$   this is like "bestest" for the lowest amount of cash i could find
or
Samsung 49" C49HG90DMU 144hz - 10bit - cd/m2 600 - 3840 x 1080 - va - 32:9    almost 1000$
or
ASUS 49" ROG Strix XG49VQ  144hz - 10bit - cd/m2 450 - DFHD 3840 x 1080 - va - 32:9   a little over 1000$
or
MSI 34" Optix MPG341CQR 144hz - 10bit - cd/m2 400 - UWQHD 3440 x 1440 - va    1100$ seems just about the sweetspot if i want it all(most all) but i would like to spend less
or
ASUS 34" Rog Swift PG348 100hz - 10bit - cd/m2 300 - 3440 x 1440 - ips     1100$
or
LG 34" 34GK950F-B 144hz - 10bit - cd/m2 400 - UWQHD 3440 x 1440 - IPS (this is freesync 2, it has a sister with gsync - i got a gtx 1080. does it make a diff?)
1300$ 
    
if some how it drops 30%+ on black friday this seems like the i got it all ultrawide. the gsync sister is 120hz otherwise mostly the same which one should i pick in that case for a gtx1080?

Please feel free to come with any suggestions or if you think of a question i forgot to ask!
Thx in advance

Formatting, son. Formatting. This is painful to sift through.

I'd go with either GSync, or a monitor from the GSync compatible list.

34/35" for the bigger display, and much higher PPI. The 49" ones will look like ass.

At max settings, you'll really struggle to hit 144hz.
