Ok...
Gigabyte or Powercolor. They have better cooling solutions allowing you to overclock higher.
Gigabyte over Powercolor because of the better warranty.
XFX has been a great company but they've had a lot of problems on these latest radeons and I wouldn't go near them for a radeon 69xx right now.
As far as flashing to a 6970... don't do it. The are already reports of peoples cards frying because the 6970 bios is sending the wrong voltage to the memory on the 6950s. What you can do is unlock the shaders on the 6950 to give you more performance.
