I'd go the Z87-A, it's a great mobo and a favorite of those building on the basic Z87s, handles DRAM well, OCs well, easily handles 2 way SLI/XFire

The GB UD3H matches up against the Asus Z87-Plus well at that price point, there would go with the Plus
UD3H is unfortunately out of my price range: But I have done some digging around and found that many who ordered Asus Z87-A have had to return them because of bent pins. So far Gigabyte board seems to be a safe bet. But I'am open to suggestions near but not over 130€ range.

Haven't encountered that with the bent pins, but if leery, then look to the ASRock Z87 extreme 3 or 4
UD3H would cost me 154€. I'm form Europe so 20% tax is added to the cost of the product. As for ASRock I have considered it before but not sure about their quality. Usually I would have gone with Asus as my current asus board has lasted 5 years with no problems whatsoever but reviews on Z87-A but me in doubt. This is the place where I plan to do most of my shopping http://arvutitark.ee/est/TOOTEKATALOOG/ARVUTIKOMPONENDID-Emaplaadid-LGA-1150-emaplaadid but somethimes I use amazon.co.uk or amazon.de.

That's a bummer, the Rock has great mobos also, I only build on Asus, the Rock and GB, and with Haswell, Asus is far and away my #1 choice, the Rock is second and GB third (have found them to be problematic with their BIOS and OC ability), so generally go pretty much with Asus and the Rock for client builds, but... 
it comes down to their choice of mobo, unless they want to stray to MSI or BioStar or the like, then I just say no and refer them elsewhere.
