Mobo brands

Relative. All brands have good boards and garbage boards. Generally speaking you get what you pay for. Some brands focus on different feature sets though (more m.2 slots, more PCIe at lower cost levels, better on-board sound, etc).
 
Generally if you overclock, Asrock is the top pick for me, also good price/features match in most of the cases.
Asus is the obvious top brand, but you also pay the brand behind it.
 
I've been builder and caretaker of an mATX LGA-775 Gigabyte board running continuously since 2010. that was before UEFI BIOS. It was fine, just for a budget workstation.

I've had an upper-mid-range EVGA LGA-775 board, still in storage in case my server with similar chipset breaks down.

And I had an ASUS Striker Extreme LGA-775 board, which was promoted as top-end, but had manageable problems.

When it comes to building any system that has any kind of overclock objective, I stick with ASUS. But there are good Gigabyte boards, MSI, EVGA and so on. But since the Striker, I've chosen boards that didn't give me even one-time trouble in configuring them.
