The factory overclocked version of XFX is faster. However if you know how to overclock a graphics card, you can get the cheaper one and just overclock it to XFX level or a bit more. 8600GT actually has plenty of overclocking headroom.
Here's a great overclocking exercise that prodded me to get the Palit 8600GT Sonic.

Great cooler and speedy memory chips.

The XFX version is factory overclocked, so it should run a little faster. I would prefer the XFX brand over MSI for the warrenty and reputation. And after rebate, it is pretty much a no brainer.
