I am going to be purchasing a 1080ti shortly, and am a bit confused with what i should get. afaik a lot of the 1080ti's perform roughly the same, but would it be worth going with a hybrid card for better cooling or going with something a bit fancier in the aesthetics department?

I am currently looking at the:

EVGA hybrid 1080ti
https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce-HYBRID-GAMING-Technology/dp/B074D7S8HR

and

ASUS ROG STRIX 1080ti
https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA0AJ5YN3958&cm_re=gtx_1080_ti-_-14-126-186-_-Product

Maybe the EVGA card will be a better choice for the future incase i SLI them? as heating would be less of an issue?

Thankyou for any input or comments

Yees the Heating would be less of a Issue as liquid cooled
but the life of Liquid cooled Cooler is not good if it failes then there is no way to keep it cool unless you replace the cooler or RMA
as the STRIX is also a very good choice the cooler of strix is very good
i am suing it myself mine is GTX 1060@6GB ambient 30'C and the card wont go more then 55'c with no fans on
