Which is the better for long term? (Mainboard)

MSI B450M PRO-M2 MAX vs GIGABYTE B450M DS3H

 

I'm stuck between these two motherboards. I expect you to comment transparently with your arguments (for example, VRM quality is better, BIOS screen is better (?)) without brand fanatic transparency.
In my usage areas: ryzen 3600 processor, 32 gb ddr4 3600 mhz ram (2x16 or 4x8 undecided price research continues), m2 sata ssd, vs650 psu and cooler master n200 will be used with mATX chassis.

 

which is the better? thanks.

From what I have seen they are both meh 

If you are only limited to around 75 dollars the ds3h is better in quality but the m2 has an extra pwm fan header
