They are actually all pretty similar give or take the odd factory-overclock here and there.
The things to look for when choosing one is the warranty period, clock speeds, but most importantly- price. The highest clocked 8800GTX's might have a roughly 15% increase in core and memory-clock speeds but the design of the GeForce 8 series where the shader-processors operate at an independent higher (though related) speed to the rest of the core means that the actual improvement in performance is rarely more than 5-10%.
All of the main manufacturers such as Asus, BFG, Leadtek, PNY, XFX are basically selling a very similar product so go for whichever is cheapest. The chances are it will overclock very similarly to the maximum a more expensive factory-overclocked model will reach anyway.
