I like ASUS motherboard. I use Gigabyte myself but I honestly hate their bios.

According to the consumers' reviews, the ASRock's bios is weird. ASRock also didn't mention x16/x16 but seeing how it's FX it should run dual x16.

My money is on Asus though but ASRock does have more PCIe slots. That's something you should consider.
