What is the best heatsink to install on a single or dual socket lga1366 xeon in a 3u supermicro chassis w/ or w/o the air shroud to duct airflow from the front hotswap bays directly over the cpu and out the rear fans?

I have only found intel oem units: intel STS100P 95W TDP passive unit and the active cooled STS100A 80W TDP. Anything similar/better available oem or aftermarket?

Update: I regret not getting the Supermicro SNK-P0038P which has heatpipes at similar price to intel.
