FWIW, I've been looking at Gigabyte's i5-compatible boards lately. I've had good success with Gigabyte in the past, and the boards have been reviewing pretty well, too. Also, if you go for one of the higher-end models (the GA-P55A-UD4, for instance), you get Firewire ports running from a TI chipset, which are strongly recommended when it comes to running Firewire audio interfaces.
