I'm going out to snag 2 980's soon and I am wondering what model would be best too get

Do I go with a reference (if so what brand) or do I just buy a non reference cooled one

I plan to watercool in the future (when I'm not as busy

Paintball meet up KD 7(8?)/1 + one capture

i say the evga superclocked acx poeple will say not to get it just because of a minor flaw that raises the temps by 2*C but the main reason is because of there amazing customer service

Spoiler

My system is the Dell Inspiron 15 5559 Microsoft Signature Edition

Depends do you want the looks or do you want a few FPS more.

I personally would take looks, but that's my own opinion.
