definitely NOT the first one
thats the one that was put on the XFX 8800GT alpha dog with zalman cooling out of the box
and it was awful
those fins are SO flimsy and very very easily bend/wobble into the way of the fan
infact thats how my card met its end
the fins bent and stopped the fan... and by bent i mean just lent over by themselves cuz they were so useless (the outer 2 or 3 fins on either side where the fins are open wrt to the fan)
i am now very happy with an ati 5850
and over all recommend u rather save the money and contribute it towards a new card all together
other than that i dont know about the other 2 options u posted
except that, once again, do NOT go for the first one

I bought the first one for my ATI4850 and i'm loving it! looks so awesome..
These are basically identical, except the second is just silver in colour and a little more pricey.. It does have increased fan speed though, which i didn't really need.
zalman-vf1000
zalman-gv1000

Mine performs very good and was so easy to install! Both fit your card as well..
Price wise they are more expensive than your 3 choices.. But have a look and see what you think.
