Which Gigabyte board...and which MSI board is available to you? The one review of each that I seen left the reviewer disappointed with the Gigabyte...but very pleased with MSI. But that was one board only of each.

I would buy a Gigabyte board over a Asus or MSI anyhow, it really depends on the features of the boards you need since you did not list the model numbers.
For going by just user reviews I don't take much stock in them most people that have no problems will not post one and most that do EVEN IF IT'S THEIR FAULT they will. Some people can't build a PC so they just give bad reviews.
I have seen a motherboard on newegg where he gave it one star and stated " Bad board had to RMA my memory"

You are mixing mATX and ATX boards: does that matter to you? Because, since you've indicated your processor preference is an APU you should steer clear of those mATX models. Since they don't feature heatsinks on them, the SoC FET's will run hot when gaming and those (few) Vega cores start pumping the joules.
Of that selection, MSI's B450 Gaming Pro Carbon seems to have had pretty good reviews, with superior VRM thermals. And it also has some pretty high-end features, if that's important. Such as WiFi!
But, in general: the problem right now is there are too few actual hands-on reviews out there of B450 boards. So we're left looking at those few and trying to guess how the other boards in a manufacturer's product stack might perform based on looks alone. But the one thing that's easy to compare is features: look at the mfr's web site and compare number/location/types of USB ports and things like that.
