It depends on the rest of your build, the MSI board is a bit less expensive than the gigabyte board, and they both seem to be quality products. What it comes down to is price and what features you need/want.

Gigabyte tends to have a better rep than MSI in terms of customer service and quality, but if you're up for some reading I found an article that you might want to look at: http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/2014/09/09/x99-motherboard-group-test-asrock-asus-e/4.
