Which budget board?

I'm possibly building a low-budget system with a cheap Sandy Bridge Pentium and need to choose a board to put it on.
Each of these is around $70 on NewEgg:

ASUS P8H61-M LE/CSM (REV 3.0)
ASRock H61M/U3S3
MSI H61M-E23 (B3)
BIOSTAR B75MU3+

Is any a standout, or are they all about the same?

My guess would be that the MSI board is the most efficient and that the Asus board has the best features.
The B75 board has a different chipset than the others of course.

If you don't want anything in particular, you could simply buy the cheapest board.
