VGA cooling question

There seems to be two different categories of VGA cooler that manufacturers install at the factory. The one with the casing that directs airflow through the heatsink and out of the computer case like this and the sort that just impels air onto the heatsink and allows it to disperse in the case like this. I am wondering, which is the best and most reliable type? The case that I am getting is very large and is supposed to circulate air well. Your input is very much appreciated!
 
the slot type that exhausts in the back. if you've got room and the card is available like that, you might as well not dump a crapton of hot air inside your case.

most all aftermarket coolers are now of the heatpipe design, though, and aren't built into a slot cooler. at least these solutions are quiet and effective, though- most all factory coolers are going to be loud when the fan is up high.
