Scrypt asics are coming, no doubt. I realize they probably won't push GPU mining out of the picture for many months still, BUT, I think eventually scrypt asics will make GPU mining unprofitable. My question is, which coin will GPU miners switch to? What's your best guess? It looks like VERT, but I know there are more knowledgeable people than me on this board and I would appreciate some opinions. Thanks!

Trust me scrypt ASICs will not have that much of an impact.

The first BTC ASICs were 500000 time more profitable than GPUs (KHs per $).  Scrypt ASICs are only 2 times more profitable than GPUs at best.  So the impact will be negligible.
