6950 and 7850 are about neck and neck however the 7850 has additional benefits such as cooler running and therefore less noise but a solid XFX 6950 can be had for less money so they are a toss up.

PowerColor is okay. I would personally wait until the Sapphire or MSI were in stock and pay a little extra for them, but I have run several PowerColor cards in the past and all have been problem free and the PCS+ versions have been pretty decent overclockers.

I agree with Don to say No to Powercolor becuase I just pought a power color card last month it was of extreamly cheap build quality and it Bricked on me after three hrs of use from brand new right out of the box on a 30mhz OC.

I have the Sapphire 7850 OC edition. Good card, good cooling, etc. No problems so far.

40nm versus 28nm? 
You decide.
For me:
Shrink it some more!
