Either of these should be just fine for most any recent Linux distribution. I haven't personally used either Gigabyte or ASUS mobos (my workstation has an Intel board), but I haven't heard anything particularly negative about either. The main issues would be how fast you can clock the boards and how much and what kind of RAM they take.
Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.
Just remember, Semper Gumbi - always be flexible!
