If you're gonna go with GTX 970 then go for Gigabyte Gaming G1. It has a really nice heatsink and it overclocks really well.

Which brand is the best would depend on your budget. If budget isn't an issue here, then you can't go wrong with the gigabyte gtx 970 g1 gaming. If you're getting the EVGA variant, remember the 970 SC and FTW would not come with the backplate. I would personally love a backplate for a card of this price range. In terms of noise and cooling performance, the g1 gaming edges the EVGA Sc.

Both EVGA and GIGABYTE are good brands.. However i too would go with GIGABYTE for the reasons listed above!
