Those are all very good choices. For overall price and performance, you really can't beat the Xigmatek HDT-S1283. Sunbeam makes a nice one too. Here's a page from a site with their best performing coolers: Frostytech's Top 5 HeatsinksIn this order (IMHO):

I'd go with one of the first 2. AR can probably come around with a linky to some good reviews. As for me, I'm off to bed. 4AM and I have to get up for church in 4 and 1/2 hours!
EDIT: Btw, you could use blue cold cathodes to light up your case too. The 900 already has great cooling, IMO.
If your aren't doing any overclocking, you really wont need an aftermarket cooler as the one that comes with the CPU is sufficient for normal use.
