GTX 1080, or 1080 Ti better for this setup?

I'm planning to use a 3440x1440 monitor @ 100hz (no G-Sync) for video editing & gaming (things like Overwatch, nothing too intensive - that said, future-proof is good as I might wander into other games). I'll also be using a Cintiq Pro 16 (3840x2160 @ 60hz) for working in photoshop (this will be disconnected when gaming, and the 3440x1440 will only be displaying static images & some websites whenever the 4K tablet is running photoshop. The 4K tablet might be reduced to 2560x1440, depending on how the ppi looks at such a small screen size.

There's a possibility that I might hook up a third monitor, probably a 1920x1080@60hz, which would always be connected.

I'm wondering if a regular GTX 1080 would struggle, or if a 1080 Ti would be overkill?

The Ti version is massively better than the normal 1080 as If you want to future proof your PC , getting the Ti will give you 11GBs of GDDR5X Vram instead of 8GBs this will provide more performance even though u have a third monitor. As this means you are having to output more pixels and higher resolutions require more Vram, getting the Ti will ensure you have the best possible performance. But depending on how much money you want to spend the 1080 will be more than capable of handling that but if you use big OpenGL textures in Photoshop then you will require a decent amount of Vram.

The TI is the version that will give the higher minimum and maximum frames per second. Not important for overwatch or highly optimized games like doom/battlefield; but if you try something that isn't... well, you'll need to extra gpu muscle to reach that 100hz number at that resolution.
