Default mobo issues

I have been planning on building a computer for a while but always get hung up on the motherboard. It seems like just when I'm about to buy one I look at the reviews and see all these bad things that happen. I know there are always gonna be problems and people who don't like the board but can someone tell me which board is best of my choices or any other good board?
ASUS A8N32-SLI Deluxe <-- not sure, just heard different stuff
DFI LANPARTY nF4 <-- heard this could OC good but hard to install and get running
ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe <-- used to have some fan and coolong problem
ASUS A8N-SLI Premium <-- not sure
Also would a 400W power supply run these good or should i go for a 520. Thanks to anyone that helps me.

personally i would reccomend the lanparty because i have one and i love it. why so many asus boards? the general consensus is that s939 asus boards are buggy as ****. scrap the asus boards from your list IMO and look at some gigabyte and msi boards as well. if you go with the lanparty supposedly you have to have at least a 480w psu or they will void your warranty.
