NIC is generally more reliable, and has better driver support?

You mean Intel right?

Edit: I prefer Intel. To my knowledge killer nics are based on Intel chips but use diferent drivers that provide prioritization for games. Intel nics just work and they have really solid drivers.

What is the difference?

I have no idea what any of those are. But some ppl say Intel NiC is better

Both supports 1Gbps ethernet tho

Please help! Thanks :)

Flip a coin. It matters not.

 

If you are running short of pci-e lanes, and you are running an intel system, go with intel as it has direct connection to the cpu.

otherwise you need to look at the other features and decide if you would use/need them. for 99% of the population this mean the decision comes down to whichever is cheaper.

The intel nic is connected via the chipset to the cpu, not directly to the cpu (just google a somewhat modern chipset name + block diagram). Like i said in my other post, just go with intel, it just works.
