I'm building an i7-3770-based system. Looking for a quality mobo and the #1 consideration is reliability. I'm coming off an Asus P5Q mobo that has been rock solid...hoping for a similar experience. I don't overclock.

Thinking of the P8Z77-V Pro:

There's also the Asus Sabertooth:

I don't mind spending $180-220 on a mobo as long as it's not flakey. Though of course, no need to waste money.

Unfortunately, Internet reviews always seem to be slanted towards the negative - if you go by user reviews, every mobo is a piece of junk :)
