Any brand except PowerColor :D But to be honest, if you're just getting a reference version, PowerColor is fine. Just stay away from their attempts at custom PCBs and custom coolers ;)
Also if you can find a 4GB version, they should be $30 cheaper.

Would there be any crunching benefit to the 8GB version?
FWIW don't sell PowerColor short. I had a bunch of their 270X cards when I was mining and they were rock solid and built like a tank. Much heavier than the same model Gigabytes I had. They also ran cooler and overclocked better than the GBs and came with factory installed back plates. Maybe look at some reviews on the Egg or Amazon for the 480.
