Neither of them seem to support ECC, not that I can recommend this
board specifically but it does appear to support ECC and runs the
i7:

Though all 3 boards seem to have the same chipset so it's possible
the other two support ECC too. Also the Supermicro board has the advantage
of having remote management support(IPMI 2.0) whereas the other boards
don't seem to have anything like it.
The Asus has shitty networking on it(Realtek), I assume the Intel
one has an Intel NICs, and the Supermicro has Intel as well.
