Everyone forgets the Nehalem Xeons. But with 3 channel DDR3 support and hyperthreading probably the best bang for the buck in unlocked CPUs. It doesn't hurt to have one around in case you get a system with an older BIOS that won't boot the 6 cores.
But the W3680 is the favorite for TS overclocking. No known adavntage to the pricier W3690 when overclocking.
