I'm looking to getting two 7950s for Mining ATM the will be in my gaming case but eventually and open air minding case so I was wondering which one of these would be better for mining.

Each card has its downside:
The MSI card has "only" two fans, making it run a little hotter. It's also a little more expensive.
The new versions of the Gigabyte cards has its voltage locked at 1.25 V, which is great for high clocks, but no so great for longevity.

I have the new version of the MSI card, it only has one fan. I run it at 1200core/900mem and get 360mhash at 59C with fan at 65%.

That's a different model. The
Twin
Frozr has two fans.
360 MHash/s is very slow for 1200 MHz core clock. Is that intentional?

I bought the gigabyte one and it ended up not working with my Intel desktop board... It does upwards of 600mhashes/sec in the mining rig though and it stays pretty cool.
Would you rather talk Altcoins? -

By longevity do you mean for mining or as a gpu in genral.

If they are anything like the 7970, the top card will suck in the exhaust air from the bottom card heating up the top card. Make sure your cooling can handle it.
get a reference design 7950 which has the blower fan that pushes the hot air out of the case and not all around the inside of the case which is what the gigabyte does.

How much performance would I lose by getting this

compared to the gigabyte also my cooling consists of my stock fans in my cooler master storm trooper and a Thermaltake Frio OCK (not sure if this matters but it does take up some space) I also have a reference 7970 in my system atm to.

I don't know that open air mining is a good thing, you want airflow, cases should help with it I'd think
