Brands are subjective. They don't really matter as they can all make both good or bad boards. You need to look at each board soecifically.

If you're looking at x399 boards for a 2950X, any of the high end options for X399 are good choices. So it really depends about the other addons you're looking for. Don't pick by brans.

Top 3 most popular boards/best reviews are the:
- Asus ROG Zenith Extreme
- Asrock X399 Taichi
- Gigabyte X399 Aorus Extreme

All of these boards are top options. What you need now is to pick what "options" you need/want. Like how many pice slots you need, M.2 slots, number of fan jacks, looks, design, usb ports, supported ram speeds, RGB or not, etc... etc..

Very informative!
Nobody knows, does Asus plan to release an updated version?
So far I liked the option of Asus Zenith and the new mother from MSI.
Which of these two would you choose?
Or would you prefer another option?

I'm personally a big fan of the Asrock Taichi as I know that it's one of the best performing X370 boards, however I don't know about it's performance on Threadripper builds.

If not, I would probably go for Asus Zenith Extreme as it looks pretty damn cool.
