9070xt advice

Hi,

Current spec'ing a build using a 9070xt but not sure which one to choose, I think I've narrowed it down to the following.

- Gigabyte gaming OC (£559.99)

- powercolor hellhound (£589.99)

- sapphire nitro+ (£628.99)

I prefer the aesthetics of the hellhound the most and reviews/benchmarking say good mid-teir performance of the 9070xt's & well reviewed but have read coil whine is a thing with these.

Sapphire seems to be the best performance of the 9070xt's but is the most expensive & has the potentially sketchy 12VHPWR connector.

Gagabyte is the cheapest, seems to perform similarly to the HH & have read the vapour chamber helps keep this relatively cool but I also read gigabyte's customer service is... to be desired.

Which would you go for? Is the sapphire performance worth the additional cost? Would I be cheaping out picking the Gigabyte?
