I believe the ASUS one is the best. I wouldn't recommend running a Ryzen 5 2400G in any of them though because the SoC VRM (it's what powers the iGPU) on those ITX boards isn't too good.

We're getting a Ryzen R5 2600 as the other gift.

Then it should work great. I wanted to just mention that, because mITX boards are often used for SFF builds with no dedicated GPUs or HTPCs that also often don't have dGPUs.

Yeah I know, we're just helping him upgrade from 4th gen intel to ryzen. He's using a nano S for case.
