Get 580s, they are great for dual mining! I would recommend 8GB Variants as the DAG file gets bigger time by time, 8GB will be long lasting and moreover, they are easy to sell.
The DAG limit is projected to be hit by September 2019, by which the cards will be extremely obsolete for mining and/or Ethereum will have switched to PoS.
The 4GB variants are the best value, except for when the price difference is in the neighborhood of 20 dollars or less.

right now, I plan on buying some GPUs for mining.

I have these two gpus shortlisted
r9 295x2
gtx 1070
i will buy 4 of these so I am thinking which one is better in mining/cost+electricity factor.
any other gpu suggestion is welcome.

R9 295 has good hashrates, but wattage are extreme!
GTX 1070 cost a lot but it has great power consumption.

Best you can have are RX 470/480/570/580, but you need to wait till they have some on stock.

here they have 470/480/580 in stock. which one is good for mining out of these? I plan on buying 8 of these since theyre much cheaper
