I don't know either of these motherboards, but I have an ASRock motherboard, model G43Twins-FullHD. It is one of the few motherboards that is of micro-ATX form factor with support for DDR3 memory. It is a somewhat basic, fairly decent motherboard, but qite exceeded my expectations of a 'generic' motherboard.
Things that I liked: 6 SATA headers, which is more than some of the competing motherboards offer. OCTuner utility that allows you to set clock rates, voltages and fan speeds. The CPU and DIMM placement is good, and the power consumption seems to be decent as well.
Some of the things I didn't like: Front panel audio headers at the back of the case. P4 and CPU fan headers at the back of the case, hard to reach under the CPU cooler. SATA headers in weird orientations.
