personally i like asus

 

but usually it just comes down to personal preferences

Generally speaking, ASUS and Gigabyte tend to be on the top, with MSI and AsRock trailing closely and EVGA having meh BIOSes but solid if overpriced boards.

I personally love MSI, good looking boards and from history (building mates pc's) they're damn reliable.
Had an Asus board previously and had nothing but issues with the USB 3.0 ports on the board, never ran at true USB 3.0 speeds.

 

Other than that though, been super reliable.
