After new m/b

Hi

Am after a new m/board currently have a Abit AV8 3rd eye board, but my 9800pro is showing its age, not by much mind you :-)
Anyhow gonna treat myself to a nVidia 7800GT(maybe another one in a month or two) so need a PCi-Express board with SLi

Narrowed it down to these three, but can`t decide which one to get?

Abit AN8 SLi Fatal1ty
Asus A8N32 SLi Deluxe
DFI LanParty SLi DR Expert

Which one would you guys recommend?

Cheers
Ian
