Asus, DFI and Intel here. Asus has great features and very stable, DFI is good for AMD, Intel doesn't have much for tweakers, but is an unbelievably rock solid and fast board.

Abit sucks, Gigabyte I guess makes one or two good boards, MSI rots, ASRock is Asus' budget line that I'm not too keen on, PCCHips can be a real pain in the ass, but good for budget PCs, Biostar should give up and start building cars or something, ECS is really good for low end business machines, Soltek can be alright, Tyan I don't have much experience with, Sapphire makes video cards.. lol, so does EVGA. What does Jetway make? Airplanes?

It depends on what they need and what they have to spend. Not everyone needs an enthusiast board from DFI/Asus/etc.
