Those boards both have good reps.  I understand basically all b550s can handle a 3900x VRM wise, so it seems to be mostly what features  you want on the board.

Not a pro, not even very good.  I’m just old and have time currently.  Assuming I know a lot about computers can be a mistake.

 

Life is like a bowl of chocolates: there are all these little crinkly paper cups everywhere.

Are you limited to both of these?

Budget? Location and currency? What are these both priced at?

Strictly between these two, they can both handle the 3900x easily, the tomahawk has a 5 phase with 10 isl99360, and the strix f has a 4 phase with 12 sic639.

Or the x570 tomahawk if you can find it or the b550 strix f or the b550 tomahawk, both of these boards are pretty solid.
