They are all similar but the best one is the strix version, it has 3 fans and a higher boost clock. Asus and msi are about the same, so get msi if it`s cheaper.
GTX 1060 Dual is a Palit Jetstream version of the 1060 with Core Clock 1506MHz /Boost Clock 1708MHz : http://www.palit.com/palit/vgapro.php?id=2674&lang=en

GTX 1060 Turbo is a blower style card (blows air out the back of the card as opposed to using open air fans) with Core Clock 1506 MHz/ Boost Clock 1708 MHz: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814126115

GTX 1060 STRIX is with (in Gaming mode) Core Clock 1620 MHz / Boost Clock 1847 MHz http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814126113&cm_re=GTX_1060_STRIX-_-14-126-113-_-Product

MSI GTX 1060 Gaming has a Core Clock of 1594 Mhz / Boost Clock 1808 Mhz http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA57X4P16165&cm_re=MSI_GTX_1060-_-14-127-963-_-Product

Personally I prefer Asus as they are very good on RMAs if something goes wrong. Also out of the ones you mentioned they have the highest out of the box overclock.

Hi, it all comes to the price. I took turbo one today and i can tell you that this thing is GOOOOD. Only downsides are the missing backplate and noise is.. well, pretty loud. at 50% fan speed its basically the same as i had 100% on my previous gtx 770 DCUII.
About overclock, i havent gone any further by now but got stable 2126mhz on core and 9700!!!!!!! Memory bandwitch jumped from 192.2 to 233.0 - its MASSIVE!

Took it today for 279 euros ( next cheapest is 312 eur here, 1070 = ~ 500 eur ), playing on 1080p. Started to download anything i can find from internet to throw at it.
