Help me choose my RX 580

Alright so I am getting an RX 580 from amazon but I am not sure which one to choose from all the models there, It has to be below $200 since I am in Dominican Republic and if my purchase exceeds the $200 I get charged about 48% of the cost of the item in taxes because of a stupid law to protect the local market which is really expensive.

​

Which model is the best in term of cooling and performance under $200?

I'd suggest you stay away from MSI. I purchased a defective RX 580 from them and they don't honor their warranty. I sent it for RMA, wasted another $30 on packaging and shipping and a month later they mailed it back, they didn't do anything to the card to fix it or replace it. They literally just popped it into another box and shipped it back. Popped it back into my PC and it still had the same artifacts and glitches. It's not my PCIE slot being defective - I used a 7 year old Radeon HD 7850 for the entire month that the RX 580 was gone and never had 1 glitch. The 7 year old 7850 ran games better than the MSI RX 580.
