I always use Tom's Hardware to compare products. If he doesn't have it listed then CNET is also a really good source!
Both Intel and SuperMicro makes excellent, stable motherboards -- you can choose either and be confident you're getting a good board. HOWEVER ... I would NOT buy a server motherboard that doesn't use buffered RAM -- either Registered or FBDIMM modules. Especially if you plan to populate it with a lot of memory (16GB or more).
This would be an excellent board, and has the dual Gigabit NICs you'd like to have: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813121410
