Card itself doesn't really matter, for the most part they all use the same reference board just different coolers. The one that gare linked to looks to be a good quality cooler.. that's probably your best bet.
 
I'd go for the HIS, just because the cooler looks a beast. Also, with it's design, the air will be blown out the back, and not into the case.

The Asus cooler looks like it'd just disapate the hot air into the computer.
 
Thanks for your help everyone :) Gareth, did you read the reviews for that card? The company no longer uses the reference card disign, but instead uses a cheaper board with cheaper caps, etc, that cause the heat to be higher (already an issue with that card) and significantly reduces the overclockability (according to the reviewers, who said that they have been talking to the actual company).

Let me know what you think of it when it comes in! I'm not trying to bash or w/e, but the comments kind of turned me away from the card that you pointed out, and I think I might actually go with the HIS, primarily for the reason tht Kornowski pointed out, and its $10 cheaper.
