im an asus fan so im gonna say x99 ws

 

although x99 deluxe / rampage v extreme are good choices too

I'm an Asus fan too....you're not getting the most objective view...but the WS in terms of quality is second to none. The X99 Pro is a good alternative if you want to save some money, it's a very solid board, the deluxe too, i wouldn't get the Rampage V Extreme unless you really love the ROG aesthetic. The EVGA classified has some little issues, mostly annoying stuff when building but it is extremely stable, so great for OC. I'm surprised you left gigabyte out, not a fan of their mobos? They are one of the main players when it comes to motherboards, i wouldn't overlook them.

(Was that ok or i still came off as Asus fanboy? :P)

Honestly i don't trust the 'godlike' series, seems too flashy, with the RGB implementation, and that pumps up the price unnecesarily, same reason why i  said not to get the rampage V unless you love the aesthetic, it's a premium in both cases, a pricey one.
