They are all pretty much the same. Aside from Gigabyte, their BIOS UI sucks.

 

Between the AsRock, MSI and Asus, it just depends which one you like the look of better. I prefer the MSI but again choice is up to you.

I prefer Asus so the Z97-A, but i will say i'm not am fan of the gold. Mostly the reason why I got the Maximus Vii Hero for my build. Asus (check), (Z97 (check), not gold (check).
