Do you realize what's the difference between the 2? If so, you are more than capable of choosing yourself. If not, then those will be pretty much identical to you, and you can pretty much toss a coin to decide your purchase.

 

Personally, I don't like either. But that's on me.

Want to help researchers improve the lives on millions of people with just your computer? Then join World Community Grid distributed computing, and start helping the world to solve it's most difficult problems!

What motherboard would you recommend then?

Asrock Z170 Extreme4.

 

Or the 4+ for a little more, if you want that front panel USB 3.1...
