New MB opinions

Does anyone have any opinions (really opening up here) between the MSI K7N2Delta ILSR motherboard and the Gigabyte 7N400 Pro? Both seem to be good by reviews. I am concerned with Gigabyte raid controller, though a Gigabyte rep. says they supply a Redhat linux driver with the supplied setup disk. I have seen questions about Promise controllers (on the MSI board) but these have not seemed to be insurmountable. Gigabyte board also comes with more IDE connectors though if the MSI is really better I have an add-on board I could use with the MSI. Any thoughts? Thanks for your time. Richard
