AMD Vendors any better than the others?

Been with nVidia for years and thinking of AMD this time around. I'm looking at the 6950 1GB or 2GB and the 6970 2GB. But I don't really know the difference between the vendors.

I know XFX from nVidia and Saphire from the last radeon I owned (9700 pro). Any advice?

I prefer XFX, only because I tend to sell my current card whenever I upgrade so having the double lifetime warranty (2nd hand purchaser gets a lifetime warranty) is a nice incentive for potential buyers.

I like Asus, the custom cooling solutions usually help a lot. My Asus branded 5850 runs much cooler than the visiontek 5850s I bought for mining.

Do they still get this on the AMD's? I know that's how it was with nVidia.

Nevermind, just found it. It's still limited lifetime and can transfer. Nice! I think I will go with XFX.
