Mobo manfacturers

I didn't find anything when i searched this.

For an AMD system, which makers do you take for stability and o/c (main thing is being stable)?
I've always gone with Asus but I was wondering what else rates with them.
I've heard DFI, Tyan, Soyo, and Soltek are good too.
I personally don't like MSI and heard Epox isn't as good anymore
Haven't heard too much about chaintech or gigabyte or shuttle.

Any quick thoughts on Intel boards?

I like abit, msi, and albatron for their easy online rma support. I don't use asus anymore, as some of their bios settings and speech reporter cause false alarms due to sensitivity to hardware performance. Soltek is also mentioned for stability, but I wouldn't want to send my board to taiwan for replacement. I might get one if they ever open an office in the Usa.

I've heard good things about Gigabyte's stability, but I don't know from experience.
