I've looked through the list of Pantone-validated monitors.
The BenQ SW series compete with Dell UP series. And BenQ PD series compete with Dell U series. So if you want to get Dell, you can go with any monitors from the UP (AdobeRGB) or U (sRGB) series monitors.
AdobeRGB monitors are usually noticeably more expensive compared to sRGB monitors. If you are not going to be comparing printed proofs against your monitor you can just go with sRGB monitors which has pretty good colour accuracy too.
Between the BenQ SW2700PT and Dell UP2716D, they have rather similar specifications. The main advantage of the BenQ is it comes with shading hood which I find tremendously useful, especially if you can't control your light source. My current monitor is the BenQ SW2700PT and my monitor is near a window so the shading hood helps a lot. For my unit, I found the backlight to be surprisingly even but that I guess has got to do with some luck.
If you don't need the shading hood, you can save $50 and just get the Dell UP2716D or the Dell UP2516D (smaller should be cheaper).
I've not used the Asus so I can't say much about that.
