I'd get the XFX since it has a Double Life Time warranty making it easier to sell down the road when you upgrade. XFX also has a bit higher quality.

Since its a HD 5850, they most likely use the very same reference design and even the same parts. I would get the XFX just for the warranty. I have a HIS 4870 and a XFX 5870, Both work great.

in my experience, XFX are probably the best manufacterer of ATI cards. i dont know weather they change desgins, or its just coincidence, but they also seem to attain higher overclocks in benchmarks.

HIS on the other hand are not so good. my experence with them has been bad. ive even had a pre-overclocked card form them, that wasnt stable at that overclock. i had to reduce it to reference clocks to stabilise it....

Have 3 HIS cards (X1550, X1650 Pro, HD 4850) and never had problem with it... :) 

Just like the others said, XFX probably better because it's warranty.
