Between these two boards its better to go with Gigabyte. Asrock do offer a lot of feature at low price point but they are not that reliable.
I'd suggest that If your budget permits then go for an ASUS board. They are the best board makers for X79 platform.

If you like to mention your budget then I may help you a bit more.

For 250 dollars the best you can get is:

But
You can also get this one and save some money:

The two boards are more or less the same. The first one has few extra features that only a gaming enthusiast would use. So better to get the second one.
