Regular Classy, Kingpin is ugly and overkill for 99.9% of us.

I had to answer myself the same question a few weeks ago. I wanted to get a good aftermarket 780ti, but with a reference pcb for possible waterblock compatibility down the road.

Basically the two best 780ti's that use the reference pcb and have a good quiet aftermarket cooler are:

 

the gigabyte windforce oc (non-ghz)

and the msi gaming 3g

both come with a factory 1085 MHz boost clock, which is the highest of all air cooled 780ti's and on one level with the 780ti classified from evga.

 

In the end I went for the msi one, as I have a red/black themed build, which msi's 780ti suits quite well, and the writing on the gigabyte's backplate is upside down.

 

one thing worth considering though is, that evga has also awesome looks, great warranty on their acx units, and offers to exchange your card with the upcoming 6GB version down the road.
