Sapphire or XFX will act similarly in terms of performance/Cooling , lots of people will recommend sapphire just because its the most trustworthy Card Producer in the AMD family but XFX make quality products too with lots of good cooling , I haven't heard about the third one TBH. So between XFX and Sapphire choose whats cheaper/looks better.

Get the one with the highest clock speed. So Sapphire (I couldn't find a spec page for the VTX3D card) then overclock. A R9 280 OCed to the speed of a R9 280x will only perform 1 - 2 FPS slower.

I have a method to pick between equally performing products.
Go to newegg and find the candidates.
Filter on the most reviews by verified buyers.
Then look at what percent of the reviews have one or two eggs indicating some sort of a problem.

Having 3 fans would make it cooler better, but it lacks in performance in comparison to the R9 280.
