I've stuck with EVGA for all of my builds due to how much I can get out of them over stock.

The higher end SKUs often boast better overclocking. Ones I can think of off the top of my head are MSI Gaming X and ASUS ROG Strix. At the same time, the lower end cards are fine for a mild overclock, but it ultimately depends on what you mean by "I want to overclock" - if you're going for big overclocks, go with a more expensive GPU, as they often have better coolers. If you're fine with a mild one, something cheap like an EVGA Superclocked will do fine.

The higher end cards doesn't have history of high extreme over clocks tbh .OC doesn't have anything to do with the brands .Its all the silicon lottery .All cards have same components .Only power circuitry and cooler diff but that doesn't makes any diff in performance. Its only for marketing. Just buy the lower priced card and oc it as far as u can .All cards stays below 70c( max) at full speed .Just avoid the single fan card for better temp

are their lifespans also the same with every brand? or is it just on how you use the gpu?

Yeah its the same .It lasts for 7 or 8yrs or even more but only problems is it will become outdated lol. So don't worry about life span

I don't know about mid range cards like the 1060 but I know the more expensive versions of high end cards like the 1080 ti come with more and better quality power phases for higher overclocks and stability as well as longer life.
They are designed for use with Liquid Nitrogen cooling, I believe the Kingpin models are the very top of the tree in terms of OC and quality components on the PCB.
