Determining which is better highly depends on the specific ports/connections you need and the specific features you want that is found in one mobo but not in the other.

Both the MSI H81M-P33 and the Asus H81M-D have these similarities:

Both support Intel 4th-gen (Haswell) CPUs (but using Haswell-Refresh CPUs require an updated BIOS)
Both have 2x DDR3 RAM slots, supporting up to 16GB capacity, and 1066/1333/1600MHz speeds
Both have DVI-D and VGA integrated graphics output ports at the rear panel
Both have 1x PCIe x16 slot (single GPU only)
Both have 2x SATAIII (6Gb/s) and 2x SATAII (3Gb/s) ports for a total of 4x SATA ports
Both use Realtek ALC887 audio codec with 3x audio jacks at the rear panel
Both use Realtek RTL8111G LAN controller with 1x RJ45 port at the rear panel
Both have 2x PS/2 ports (for keyboard and mouse) at the rear panel
Both have 2x USB3.0 ports at the rear panel
Both have 2x internal USB2.0 (9pin) headers on-board
Both require a 24-pin ATX and a 4-pin ATX12V power cable from your PSU
Both are mATX-sized motherboards

What sets them apart are these major differences:

MSI has only 1x PCIe x1 slot | Asus has 2x PCIe x1 slots
MSI has 4x USB2.0 ports at the rear panel | Asus only has 2x USB2.0 ports at the rear panel
MSI has 3x fan headers (2x PWM + 1x 3-pin) | Asus only has 2x (1x 4-pin PWM + 1x 4-pin non-PWM)
MSI doesn't have an LPT rear panel port (for old printers) | Asus has an LPT rear panel port
MSI is slightly smaller mATX (226mm x 173mm) | Asus is slightly larger mATX (226mm x 183mm)
MSI has a Black+Blue color theme | Asus has a Black+Gold/Yellow color theme

So, with the above differences, specs-for-specs, the MSI H81M-P33 has more ports/connections. But if the differences does not matter to you, and the price of the Asus H81M-D is cheaper, then, getting that would be enough.
