MSI for sure. Better fans and better construction. They may not have been known for quality 5 years ago but they are rock solid now.

Oldest video card I still have around in a box is a Sapphire 9800 SE. Oldest one I'm actually still using is a 9800 GT in a downstairs computer that doesn't really play many games. Ah the memories...
