Both are just about the same cards. The Asus is better for straight out the box cooling and will fit in smaller cases, the Sapphire is usually better for overclocking and looks to have better cooling but is slightly slower out the box and requires a bigger case

Get the Asus version if the price difference isn't much where you live
 
The ASUS is better for a smaller case and OOTB performance and if you don't plan on OC-ing much.

The Sapphire Toxic is better for OC-ing and requires a larger case.

Personally I would go for whichever costs less and fits my needs (case and OC-ing).
