It depends on the features your looking for, if you want to overclock your cpu, youll need the z170. If not, get the H170. The B150 is meant to be a business oriented mobo while the other are for consumer builds. Z170 chipset has the ability to split up the lanes two or three ways which allows for the use of multiple video cards or simply more PCIe devices to be directly connected to the CPU as long as they do not need to run at full x16 speeds. Z170 has 20 PCIe 3.0 lanes, H170 has 16 PCIe 3.0 lanes. The z170 has 10 usb 3.0 connections while the h170 has 8. The B150 only has 8 PCIe lanes which could run a GPU but not at the x16 mark. The B150 will limit you on expandability and you would not be able to have sata connections.
Depending on what you want out of your mobo, if expandability is what you want and overclocking, go with z170. If you want the expandability but not overclock get the H170. If you want the bottom line mobo get B150 but I do not recommend it.
