Hi, i'm actually choosing GPU for my Rig, i have 2 options in mind:

Mining eth - 4 x 480 8gb
mining zcash - 4 x 1060 6gb (a bit more profit than 480 with ETH on coinwarz)

But i never see a 1060 mining rig, why ?

(apologize for my english)

there are a lot of ppl having a GTX 1060 RIG, just look better  Grin i sold both of my 1060 and switched completely to 10 x 1070.
In my opinion 1070 has a better resale value and can also mine ETH pretty fine (not that important, since ETH will go PoS sooner or later).
But it depends mainly on your budget and deals you can get for the GPU in your area. For example i was buying 1070 @ 330€ per piece and 1060 6GB was like 270 €, so an easy decision for me.

I'm from EU too (france), i can get  1070 for 360€ and 1060 6gb for 225€ for the cheapest models (http://www.kfa2.com/kfa2/graphics-card/10-series/kfa2-geforce-gtx-1060-oc-6gb.html)
In term of profit it's better to take 1060 with my price.

what is your Sol/s with 1070 ? and what was with 1060 ?

Thank you!

edit: can get ASUS 1070 for 350€ on ebay.
