Saving your money, Superflower Leadex; for better monitor and longer warranty, Corsair Link.

I'm using Great Wall 1250W for rig of 6 cards 1070. Until now it's going smooth. 

I think that is the same as the OCZ 1250W.

From the list I chose EVGA and SuperFlower , I use SuperFlower 1600(80+ gold) and EVGA 1000(80+ gold).
The set includes  a large set of flexible and long wires, as well as noiseless operation.

Mostly it depends on price and availability
Mining since a year ago and none of my psu have had any problem so far and I have been running them near their threshold(90-95%)
I prefer mosly the psu that are currently on sale.

I like EVGA because the quality of the goods is very good and also in the affairs of reliable speed is very capable and able to make the guarantee as one of the best tools from the others.

If you like standard form PSUs EVGA 80w 400-600 watt power supplies often come on newegg for less than 10 and 20 USD respectively. This is with rebate though, and it can take a while for rebate to come in. Better than some GPU manufacturers though.

EVGA & Seasonic (EVGA actually make no PSU's, They're all OEMS, EVGA's better/top end models are made by Seasonic/Superflower, EVGA's lower models are often made by FSP (Whom are not bad, But no where near Seasonics or Superflowers standards)

I've had good experiences with EVGA, Corsair, XFX, FSP, and Seasonic. (The OEMs I try to look for are FSP, Seasonic, and SuperFlower. Corsair units from CWT are okay, better than CWT used to be.) (Of those, the EVGA, XFX, and Corsair ones are currently connected to my mining rigs. The Seasonic is the oldest one and it still runs my desktop just fine.)

Of the brands I've owned PSUs from, Thermaltake is probably the one I've had the worst personal experience with. I had to RMA a TR600W unit twice before receiving a working one. Thankfully none of my components were damaged by them. Customer support was about average.

I'm using SuperFlower Leadex PSUs from 1200W to 2000W models (80 Plus Gold, 80 Plus Platinum). They have enough power connectors for GPUs and Molex. Wires are soft and long. PSUs work at 75-85% load 24/7 for a year.

The best there is, nothing comes close.

The server PSUs on eBay look pretty cheap but how do you know which one to get?

You can go fully custom breakout boards, or there are a few companies around that will make it a lot easier for you Smiley

I chose server PSU's as I'm switching over to those, and I'm selling my Rosewill 1500/1600W PSU's if anyone wants one Cheesy

Server power supplies with breakout boards that are 93% rated and kept under 80 percent load are not that loud.  I replaced all my 90% rated server supplies with the 93% and they are much less noisy.  I use the pico power supplies with a special built cable ( 6 pin to 8 pin ESP & barrel plug) that connects to the pico.  But if your looking to resell the PSU's when done then i prefer the Corsair I series because they monitor power usage (as I use 240v) quite easily. Once I know I have a stable rig, I convert it over to the 1200w server psu's.

Corsair PSU's have been pretty good in the past, though BBT has reported having multiple bad Corsair AX series brand new PSU's.

They may be having quality control issues. A majority stake of Corsair was also recently sold off to an investment group.
