That depends on which CPU socket do you want, Socket 2011 or Socket 1150? Both of them a great motherboards for their socket.

For gaming z97 boards are the way to go, the extreme is for workstation sockets, hero is for general gaming cpu, like the 4690k etc, so go hero, also cheaper too

Get the hero then, that's 1150 and the hero is one of the best boards you can get for z97 right now

It depends on your needs and your budget.

The Maximus VII Hero is an extremely solid board for all gaming and overclocking purposes as long as you don't need more than 2 graphics cards and 4 sticks of RAM. It also has a LGA1150 Socket for Haswell, Haswell-R and the upcoming Broadwell CPUs.

The Rampage IV has a LGA2011 Socket so it requires one of the more expensive Intel CPUs (or a LGA2011 Xeon) and it's not compatible with Haswell-E. It allows for 4 graphics cards and 8 sticks of RAM. It's prohibitively expensive though. It's mainly for extremely high performance systems and workstations.

If you just want a high performance gaming system go with the Maximus VII Hero. If you're swimming in money or have specific productivity needs you can consider the Rampage IV.
