Definitly Gigabyte. But it's a pretty long card. If you want something that saves you a bit more space, then EVGA.

EVGA's is the best built, ASUS/Gigabyte are the best performing.

Pascal Undervolting topic, get more out of your card with less power!

Why high refreshrate monitors look better even without Freesync/G-sync in one image.
Stutters, framedrops, "lag". How to provide detailed information with your "bottleneck" question, as well as a few solutions.

How could you possibly know which is best build?

 

I had a Gigabyte G1 970 and it was build like a brick shit house.

I prefer the ASUS one but the best overall temperature performance is the Gigabyte.

My System has a Intel Core i7 4790k @4.5ghz Cooled by A Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO With a MSI Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 Founders Edition and 16GB of Corsair Vengeance 1600Mhz Memory.

Because it uses ball-bearing fans instead of Gigabyte's cheap sleeve-bearing fans for starters.

The fans survive longer than the cards realistically do anyway and with both companies you're guaranteed a fix/replacement if they go wrong within three years. 

 

I could turn around and say the superior cooling at lower noise levels is indicative of better engineering. The ACX 1.0 especially was shoddily designed.

The fact that it might not matter, does not negate the built-quality of the parts used is better. I did exlicitly say this, I didn't say "engineered best".

Ok, so slightly better ball bearings, but you did say that was "for starters".

 

Do go on...
