I want to buy a quality B450 Motherboard for Ryzen 5 2400G. Based on overclock which one from below will be better? Please leave your brand bias and specify the reason

#MSI B450M Bazooka Plus --
#ASRock B450M Pro4 --

Note :: I don't care much about the look.

Thanks in advance for your valuable time and information.
 
Even for the 2400G I'd want more than a three phase VRM configuration. Consider, it's a four core part with four additional hyperthreads. Even though it's only 65w, that's non-boost power draw. At higher boost clocks it will pull significantly more and even on 95w 4/8 processors there is always problems with power delivery when overclocking on low power phase motherboards. I'd want at least four phases, minimum. Regardless of the CPU model. Even a G3258 Haswell.
