I would get the 580. Once Volta comes out, NVIDIA will stop optimising it's drivers for Pascal while AMD's cards age better than NVIDIA.

The 900 series is still doing well in today’s games.

It hasn't aged as well as AMD in latest games. The GTX 970 used to hang with the R9 290X when it was new and now the 290X beats it on almost every game and it's even surpassed the GTX 980 in quite a few of them. I have no doubt once Volta comes out, the RX 580 will leave the 1060 in the dust.
