well if price is not of a concern for me the ASUS Strix GTX 1080 / Strix OC, would probably be the best and possibly they would release a Platinum version of it soon. which would be better but of course increased in price.
but you can look at here to see the full list of current GTX 1080s but currently the following would be your best choice.

http://videocardz.com/nvidia/geforce-1000/geforce-gtx-1080

EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 8GB SC Gaming ACX 3.0
ASUS GeForce GTX 1080 8GB ROG STRIX OC
ASUS GeForce GTX 1080 8GB ROG STRIX
GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 1080 8GB XTREME GAMING
MSI GeForce GTX 1080 8GB GAMING Z
ZOTAC GeForce GTX 1080 8GB AMP!
theres also the ZOTAC GeForce GTX 1080 8GB AMP! EXTREME but its quite big 2,1/2 size GPU.

Just be careful going by some companies reviews as there have been some people overclocking cards to make their cards look faster/better than others.

here is a COMPLETE list of all the cards and specs and any reviews done. http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-3047729/nvidia-geforce-gtx-1000-series-megathread-faq-resources.html#17902597

in the end every card performs near identical to the others. read some reviews to verify. oc makes no difference as they are max at the same speeds. your looking at price and features you like mainly. as none is better than the others.

the cards in question that did this accomplished nothing. as the small oc it came with to reviewers amounted to 1 fps or less!! no real biggie. the mode that came enabled was one available to all who buy the card, it's just not set as the default as it was for reviewers. made no difference really.

yeah. the review samples that reviewers received were out of the box at their OC mode. which normal consumers could access.
