Out of those, i definetely see two top contenders as the Corsair 650d and the
BiteFenix Collosus. They are both very well made, spacious and quite well designed.
But in the end, As far as your case is of these one of these brands, its just a matter of more money - better case:
Antec
BitFenix
Corsair
Cooler Master
Fractal Deisgn
Lian Li
Silverstone

2x 6950 ..your gonna want some 'breathing room' ..also things to consider , the WIDTH of case ..some HSF will these days with just barely fit , and actually wont fit in some case due to hi rise HS .. some other thing to consider ..is PSU design for Top or Bottom or mount ..does it have fan options on very bottom (flat) to push up , and how is the exhaust on top and back, does it have options for adding add'l fans ..that being said , I absolutely LUV my Lian Li , worth every penny imho, but I build and tinker a lot , if your just gonna build and close it out , and not upgrade or do anything for a while , might not be worth to you..but having worked with numerous other cases , I simply LUV the Lian Li, it is a pleasure to build with, mine is an older full tower 6 bay so it's bigger and has plenty of room, but everything fits nicely with it..not that some other cases arent quite nice as well ..

I'd recommend the cooler master haf 912, if you're on a budget. It can fit any size gpu in it as well as big cpu coolers such as the cooler master v6 gt and 212+. The air flow is also very good.
You can get one from newegg for $60 + $6 shipping. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
If you're not on a budget, or want a full tower, I recommend the HAF X.

Better off getting a full tower in my opintion.
Think about it, mid tower range from 80-150ish. Full tower 140-400ish
But, since the case design is soo damn good, it will pretty much last a life time.
Full tower = more space & better for air flow.
Chances are most likely the case will last you 10-20yrs.

OK well my opinion is, ive had the HAF X, which is a truly good case, but a bit to much plastic for my liking, looks wise,
RV03, again looks wise too much plastic but ive heard and read some great things about it.
The Corsair Cases do look good but i did here somebody mention that they have problems with cable routing options ??

Based on your current options:
BitFenix Colossus > Corsair 650d
Although I do recommend you to take a look at the Antec 1200. I myself own such a case right now and I'm totally satisfied.
Colossus:
+ Much room for components
+ Great design
- The quality of some things aint 100%
650D:
+ Somewhat room for components
+ Good quality, well made
- The look of it is abit outdated in my opinion
1200:
+ Much room for components
+ Good quality, well made
+ VERY good cooling and options for even more fans
+ Quite stylish
- Little shielding for front-panel cables (minor)
- Not that much room for cables behind the backplate (minor)
PS: The Antec has a little brother, the 900. It offers the same but with a little less room for less $$. Perfect if you dont want to have a meter of aluminium beside you
