Mobo recomendations based off of known reliability

Ok guys,

I know theres a few threads out re: opinions of the latest and greatest motherboards, however I'm seeing mixed responses of how reliable each one is. I take with a grain of salt a lot of the reviews on Newegg or Tigerdirect, because no matter how reliable a product is, there's always one guy on there that had a bad experience, giving an otherwise great product one star, and it plants a seed of doubt.

I've had so many problems with my current build I could puke (sata ports going bad and breaking my raid, bad usb drives, board heating up because of voltage irregularities and crashing the 3D video drivers, the list goes on), so really want to make sure I'm getting it right this time.

So I guess I's looking for a consensus of the most common Mobo's used in the forums, and peoples experiences with them, good and bad.

My current set up - it's off memory so not sure as to the accuracy on every detail of each component, but you get the idea -

Asus M2N32SLI - Deluxe
+3800 64 w/ 256 mb cache
2 WD 250's striped
BFG 7900 GTX OC 540 mb Ram, etc etc
2 GB's of Crucial memory 5400 *4-4-4-12
1 250 HD for Data
500 watt Ultra Power Supply
Thermaltake Aguila case

I'm not OC'ing anything atm.

The reason for the Mobo change, is I've had nothing but problems with this board. It's my second one (it's an RMA), and all thru the process of RMA'ing, and tech support, I've found ASUS to have the worst customer service of any company I've ever worked with (not to mention the slowest website ever), so I'm really trying to avoid their products.

I mostly play WoW, which my current system handles just fine. I have an extensive audio collection, and would like to get into burning movies, etc, which really taxes my current setup.

Intel Quadcore looks like where its at for me, because I dont really want to upgrade for a while. I understand that many programs don't utilize the Quad Core technology, and that games arent tapping into dual core even that much at the present, and I'm ok with that - I'll benefit from that down the line.

I'd really like to give Intel a shot, as I've heard nothing but good things, and the future looks bright in that regards. I know that at the end of the day, any product can have issues, no matter who makes it, but am still curious as to what the word on the streets for consistent reliablility is - essentially, im looking for the "lesser of the evils".

Anyone that has any input on the newer Mobo's would be greatly appreciated, or maybe a link to a thread I may have missed would be cool too!

Best regards,
