Some think the abit is the best P35 board you can get. Don't know, haven't done builds with ALL of them, but for me, I'm getting that or the IP 45 PRO, which hasn't been released yet. The IP35Pro is now discontinued on the abit site and Newegg only has open box, they are pushing the Pro XE.
Link for the P45 if you haven't seen it;
