Ah...OK...Right.
In order of importaince to me...Warranty, these can be expensive items so get the best protection you can. Cooler, if one has a quieter or better cooler that`s the one to get, particularly if one exhausts its heat out of the case and the other does n`t. Bundle of free goodies, if one has a game or other piece of software such as a DVD player you lack or want, then get that. Speed, unless there is a very large overclock on one card ignore it, even `high` overclocks usually translate into a few FPS in the real world.
9800gt and 8800gt are all the same. there is absolutely no difference between these two. so get the 8800gt because it's cheaper than 9800gt. i think gigabyte 8800gt 512mb will be the best. (oh, i love my gigabyte mobo)
