Help me choose the right mobo

[kickerf1]

Hi fellow enthusiasts I'm building a new system for everyday use, a little bit of word processing, some gaming every now and then but mainly for multimedia use say digital pictures, watching movies, encoding movies and music and say I love to multi-task.

Anyways, I have come down to few choices and I'd like your opinion on which mobo should I choose?

My options are:

1. Asus A8N32-SLI Deluxe
2. MSI K8N Diamond Plus
3. DFI LANPARTY UT NF4 SLI-DR Expert
4. Asus A8N-SLI Premium
5. Abit AN8 SLI

What I'm looking for is great performance and mainly reliability because I'm planning on keeping this mobo as long as possible. I'm thinking on pairing my mobo with a AMD 64 X2 4400+

Please help me out here.

Given that you have the other 2 C51D chipset boards listed may I ask why not the Abit AN8 32X as well?
It's probably the cheapest of the 3 & it's very stable as well as quiet.
