Best X99 Motherboard currently?

[iMonstrosity]

Looking to upgrade pretty much my entire desktop after 5 years. What is the best X99 motherboard under $300? (Godlike one is prolly the best but not paying $600 for it. already paying $550 for the gtx 1080 lol.)

Two I was looking at are the MSI Gaming 7 and MSI Pro Carbon:

Recommendations?

Or should I look towards the Asus deluxe?

From this list, I'd choose the EVGA X99 FTW K but anything like the Deluxe II would be over your budget. For an all Black sheme the Carbon would be a better choice but essentially the same board with a different color badge.
