So I recently asked here about build, after thinking and calculating I decided to go with i5 6500.
Now I m in doubt about which mobo should I take. What I like most so far is B150M Mortar, and Gigabyte H170 HD3(or D3H? really confused 1 of them is mATX but that doesn't matter much to me), would welcome every other suggestion, I don't really have brand preference so would like what most here think is best option.
Will I overclock in future? - No, so pretty much any socket but z170.
Will I use Crosfire/Sli? - Maybe, not really needed.
RAM slots? - Prefer 4 slots.
Color preference is Black-White but doesn't really matter if it is other color as long as it is good quality.
For storage now I use SATA3 ports with SDD/HDD might consider PCI or m.2 in future but not soon.
How much USB you need? - I need 2 on back for mouse/keyboard and 2 in front for External storage
Most important thing I m looking for is good LAN chip or however that thing is called, every brand says their is super fast so I can't really decide which is best.
Also another important factor for me is quality since I would like this PC to be used 5-6 years, and again here every brand says durable, military class etc. But how much is this true?

Most motherboards on the market for Intel Skyale are quite well made, even the more budget ones are likely to last for years. To me the ''millitary grade'' or similar terms are just marketing words. If used properly any motherboard even close to 100 dollars should last 5 years or more, but since we are talking about tech, you always have parts that can just fail if you're unlucky.

Firstly decide between a mATX or ATX Mid tower case, then focus on the motherboard. If you're going Mid tower then I'd focus on an ATX motherboard,you're likely to have...

Quite a fan of ASRock's Performance line, but there are plenty of other options, the ones you listed are not bad either.

Thanks for help, I ended up ordering msi H170A gaming pro, mostly because that LEDs which look cool and it was on sale in my country.
