Picking a New i7 Motherboard

Hi guys,

I am planning to build a new desktop and need some advice for a motherboard. I am interested in over clocking but that is something I have no clue about and don't know any over clockers. Maybe something I can really get into after an year or so but not right now.

I just want a machine that is extremely stable at factory speeds and can operate under heavy workloads in a room without air conditioning.

My three choices for a mother board are:

1) XFX X58i

2) Intel® Desktop Board DX58SO

3) Asus P6T SE

Please pick one of these three processors only. My dealer doesn't have much in terms of variety. I can afford these three and price is not a concern. Over clocking is not a concern for me but I want longevity.
 
I have a Gigabyte which has been very good so far, but I find the BIOS is a bit quirky. The layout and wording is kind of strange and misleading. But aside from that, the board seems to be very good quality and has been very stable overclocked and all.
