Default Stock 9800GT cooler or zalman vf700?
I have a vf700 on my 7800GTX right now, i am about to buy a 9800GT.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814130380

That one, and i was wondering, should i just use the stock cooler, or put my zalman on there?

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16835118117

That's the zalman i have.

That cooler doesnt fit on the 9800gt and if even if it did i doubt it can outperform the stock cooler as the 55nm revisions run quite cool with the stock cooler around 60 degrees load with changed out thermal paste and a mild oc 680 core 950 memory

my 9800gt runs @ 38°C idle with fan at 50%, when upped to 100% with eVGA Precision it goes down to 30°C. haven't load tested yet (waiting on new power supply) but it hasn't seemed to heat up to bad at all so far.

VF900 for a 9800GT. I had one on my 8800GT. VF700 won't cut it.

Look at this review of 8800GT's and heatsinks (9800GT is just the same)

http://enthusiast.hardocp.com/articl...VudGh1c2lhc3Q=

I would say get the best price/performance option. The review is a year old so just use as a starting point (new coolers out since review).
