I had this exact same question with my build a couple weeks ago. I was talked into ASUS because it is a more reliable brand. I built the PC with a computer expert, but the PC would't start up. He tested everything and determined the mobo was bad. I replaced it, and the 2nd one was dead on arrival as well (the CPU socket in each one had a bent pin).

The company I bought it through won't replace a replacement (although since the replacement didn't work either, I guess you could say they technically didn't replace the original yet), so I am looking at another board altogether rather than risk another dead board. 2 DOAs in a row isn't good.

I don't know if that affects your decision. ASUS seems like the better choice, and if you choose that I really hope you had better luck than I did.

I would, but I'm worried the RMA process would mean I wouldn't get a new motherboard for another 2-3 weeks. I've already waited 2-3 weeks.
