From personal experience; it doesn't matter. All three brands produce good quality motherboards. Back in 2015-2016 the cheaper MSI/Asus motherboards failed more compared to a cheaper Gigabyte motherboard. That's just a personal observation from someone who built hundreds of computers in a professional setting.

A motherboard shouldn't be picked on reliability statistics alone, especially if the data is close together. The features*, price/value ratio, and of course, RGB ( ) are also important to take into consideration.
I've personally used Gigabyte in the past but recently switched to Asus. No particular reason other than a personal preference, and wanting to try something new.

(*Including but not limited to:

• socket type
• form factor
• expansion options
• PCIe slots (and types)
• I/O ports
• (placement of) fan headers
• color (personal preference)
• RGB support

Just a small list of features. There plenty more to take into consideration).

Had a b350 Gigabite board and it was awful. I refuse to buy anything from Gigabyte moving forward. I've used an msi b350 for a tiny bit, it was okay and did what it was supposed to in a fairly straightforward manner. Asus did what it was supposed to with minor inconveniences and slight confusion as they need their own name for everything I.e xmp (though I think their reasoning was not to be sued so fair enough). I'm not a huge fan of msi (I actually dislike their branding quite a bit) but I think they'd be tied with asus for me. Msi has solid boards (build quality) but I still prefer asus boards but I'd recommend msi to majority of people.

MSI > ASUS > Gigabyte for people who struggle to read.
