If space/size is a problem in your case go for Sapphire as its quite a bit smaller [like i did] ~10.32 inch
If it isn't a problem Asus will be the best
~ 11.2inch
Performance wise you can't go wrong with any. [Except MSI hear it has high temps]

Not yet they are all pretty similar, the companies will be bringing out custom coolers most likely in a month. That is when you will see a difference.
Out of those , I would leave out the sapphire due to the fact the rest have 3yr warranties compared to sapphires 2yr warranty.
Personally wait until custom cooling options come out, I believe that AMD has not yet delivered enough Hawaii GPUs units to AIBs, so they are not prepared for mass production

Up to you , the Hawaii chip is meant to run at 95 degrees centigrade due to the high power consumption if youre buying the 290x for low temps... the standard single blower fan will not cut it, when 2+ fans will be implemented then you will see better temps.
If I were to guess the sapphire would have the best temps follwing their 3 fan design on the 280x http://
But I must stress for better temps (and sound) wait for the custom coolers

I can't wait a month. Battlefield 4 is getting released... So you recommend Sapphire?

Out of your original option Asus would be my choice

I could afford http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835186068&SortField=0&SummaryType=0&PageSize=10&SelectedRating=-1&VideoOnlyMark=False&IsFeedbackTab=true#scrollFullInfo and pick the MSI.
