Monitors

The thing that keeps me going back and forth is that the AMH A399U appears to have better colors/richer blacks. Since I will be doing some graphic work for class, this is a bonus.

I haven't heard anything about the A399U having better colors since it's a VA panel (I also haven't been reading a lot about it), and any IPS panel should be superior to TN/VA when it comes to color accuracy. As for deeper and darker blacks, yes, that's generally what you get with TN and VA panels.

Then there's the "firmware update" for GSYNC/FREESYNC being added to the Wasabi,

It is a firmware update for FreeSync only.

Here's a good video doing comparison on various 4K monitors, it should be noted that this video is a month old and appears to be from prior to the Freesync Firmware update.

As for G Sync, I mention it for two specific reasons. First, people are already working on a third party work around as mentioned in the Tek Syndicate video to enable G Sync. How that will pan out, no idea - but if a firmware update can enable FreeSync then enabling G Sync is at least a possibility. Also, there's the recent VESA recognition of FreeSync which I could see pushing NVIDIA to do something, one potential move being to stop being childish and actually move to the standard themselves.

The WM appears to be the winner in general, my only concern is physical dimensions as my desk space is limited.
