Don't know about best, but I always go with MSI, never had a single failiure with their motherboards or GPUs.

All current brands are quality. Asus and MSI are at the top of the list. However Asus is more expensive but brings the extreme quality and the security
Best is very subjective.
What if comparing to reference design cards ? then all are the same, anyone is a good or bad as the other.
It all depends on models and chips.
MSI lightning cards are very good cards, no matter the chip.
EVGA has great warranty and a step-up program wich nobody else does, no matter the chip.
Pallit has the worse warranty, no matter the chip.
To get more info you should tell us wich chip you wish to buy, a 960, a 970 or a Titan X....????

I can't comment on the wider market, but bought an MSI GTX970 last week. You can see the thread here that goes on to detail the pain I went through trying to get Windows to recognise the card - most of the trouble was going up blind alleys wondering if I had plugged everything in properly and I'm still not 100% sure why it finally worked, but in terms of actual time in front of the PC it was probably only two to three hours of tweaking, swapping cables around and downloading software, but spread over three annoying sessions. Reading around the internet, I don't think my problems were unique to MSI but possibly to 970s across various manufacturers.
It feels like a sturdily constructed card and, not that this counts for anything, was beautifully packaged. Performance is as good as I hoped and potentially better than I have yet had time to realise - I don't bother with benchmark tests and just look at the performance it actually delivers. I just chose MSI as the card got good write-ups and most competitor cards within a couple of pounds anyway. Truthfully, I'm not sure it particularly matters which one you buy. If you are unlucky enough to get a card that fails, you will never buy that brand again, but otherwise I don't think you will really see much differences between the big brands.
I would agree that it's work spending a bit more for a card that's built to be quiet and cool, but again, can't quantify how much of that translates in to a real world difference and how much is marketing .
