I've made the decision to enter the mining community, and I'm planning on building a 2x 7950 rig, but I'm slightly puzzled about how to go about picking a specific card.

I've heard good things about Gigabyte, MSI and Sapphire, but are there appreciable differences them? Between the specific cards offered by each brand? Are some just intrinsically better at mining than others?

My current choices:
