Neither because I'm waiting for more power efficient gpus to come.  But if I had to choose right now, probably the 970 because of overall efficiency and growing miner support

AMD 300 Series will be launched soon and claims to have lower power consumption and better performance.
but probably higher price tag...

They will have to price it competitively if they want to gain the market that they have already lost to Nvidia.

It's do or die situation for AMD , profits are sinking , management is bad and in the end , competition is good for customers.
