Which cooler would perform the best with a q6600 GO @ 3.0ghz? The thermalright ultra 120 with a high cfm fan or the Xigmatek HDT-S1283 or Xigmatek HDT-SD964?

The Thermalright ultra would be the best one, but the Xigmatek would server you just fine also.

get the 120mm Xigmatek model. make sure its the 3 heatpipe version (HDT-S1283) and not the 4 heatpipe one. Also make sure to get the retention bracket with it ($6) since the pushpins are crap for mounting.

It doesnt perform that great compared to the cousin....

The heatpipes are staggered and dont touch the CPU fully...they destroyed a good design
Frostytech was some benches

I would recommend the OCZ Vendetta 2 with the crossbow retention bracket for the S1283. Both use the same mounting assembly, the OCZ however cools a little better due to its improved design on the cooling fins.
