What X99 Mobo would you recommend for m.2 and SLI + Expansion...

Is getting a 6800k and overclocking it worth it over the 6700k?

 

Would be using it for two different things in different machines... Gaming/Some Content Creation (Though Not much) & Server Stuff with a large amount of single threaded workloads...

 

Also Please only list motherboards from this site: http://pricespy.co.nz/

x99 is designed for more ram and processor with higher number of cores. It is better for productivity but you won't get any significant increase in gaming performance. For gaming 6700k is more than enough.

Want X99? a 5820K is better than a 6800K for the simple fact that Broadwell-e processors overclocks badly with haswell-e being much better for Overclocking negating all the IPC gains (and it's cheaper).
