I might be leaning toward the SLI board because I've heard it's more "future proof". I don't have a preference as to SLI or Crossfire. I think, right or wrong, I'd be alright with either.

Do you think there is a clear winner?

If the price is similar take the 680i one. It has more PCI-E wich not only gives the chance for SLI (i don't think it's worth it anyway) but will give you the option to install a physics card in the near future. Of course i'm not saying about the current crappy Ageia but for some new future version that will have both more games support and will use PCI-e slot. The 680i overclocks better also from what i'm hearing.

Keep in mind the 965P doesn't support SLI. It's a Crossfire board.
