In that case, the 480 and 1060 are very similar. The 1060 is ~2% faster in DX11 (averaged over several games) and the 480 is ~6% faster in DX12 and Vulcan (again averaged). Personally, I think the 480 will age better than 1060, as games are adding DX12 and Vulcan support and moving away from DX11.

If you plan to have the GPU short term, get whichever is cheaper. If you plan to have it more than a year, I suggest the 480.

The answer has become much clearer since the release of the RX 580. The 580 is the better card. I recommend getting one from Sapphire, ASUS or XFX as I have found them to be of the best quality and customer support. As for which model...whichever one fits your budget, but keep in mind that minor overclocks can be done yourself and are not really worth the price premium.
