My A7N8X-Deluxe just died of bios corruption so I had to make this same decision. For me it was between the NF7-S and 8RDA+ because those two seem to get the highest FSB. I got the NF7-S for its SATA, since I'm tempted to get a raptor soon. It was a tough choice because the 8RDA+ with the A1 NB is generally reaching higher FSB.

from what I have heard the bios can be iffy on nforce2 boards. Is it any less iffy on the abit?

The bios corruption issue is fixed with the rev. 2 board.
