what's the right micro-ATX mother board to mate with the Q9450 ?

Newegg has 9450's for $360. they're actually in stock, it's actually becoming
like a Real Product (a soon to be discontinued Real Product, perhaps.)

Depends on if you want to overclock (maybe not a good idea with a quad in a SFF), if you're wanting to use integrated video and what features you want.

If you don't need Firewire, RAID, integrated video, overclocking, bazillion (okay, around 6) hard drives... then any of the listed boards should work.

Otherwise, the Asus board has everything. Intel board has Firewire and the same IGP of the Asus, so if you need those but don't overclock and don't need extra SATA ports or RAID, then it's $30 cheaper.
