Among all the R9 290s, which manufacture should I be purchasing?

I'm think Asus, Msi, Sapphire or XFX.
Gigabyte don't look that attractive, so NO. But it has good cooling.

Prices are in CAD; ON SALE now. The price don't really matter, please help me pick the best one.

XFX Radeon R9 290 980MHZ 4GB DDR5 DP HDMI 2xDVI Double Dissipation Black Edition $499.99. NOW: $399.99

Sapphire R9 290 Tri-X
$519.99 NOW: $439.99

MSI Radeon R9 290 Gaming Twin Frozr IV
$599.99 NOW: $449.99

ASUS Radeon R9 290 DirectCU II OC 1000MHZ
$499.99 NOW: $449.99

Either Sapphire or MSI. The Sapphire card has better airflow keeping the card cooler than other GPU providers. MSI would be second on that list.
Stay away from XFX. They were fairly decent in the past, but their current AMD cards have been plagued with issues.
