My personal opinion would be eVGA and XFX.

My eVGA one is good. Came with Dark Messiah, a good warranty and the step program (you can upgrade by paying the difference for a newer card within like 90 days). I think the warranty might even cover overclocking.

bfg, evga, & xfx also comes with a lifetime warranty. the xfx warranty will carry over to a 2nd owner (bfg, evga does not).

evga might be the way to go right now because nvidia will likely release their refresh in the next 90 days, and you can upgrade via evga's "step up" program (they credit you the difference between what you paid and their msrp).
