I personally like the Asus brand for flashing BIOS as it can be done
from a USB stick. If Gigabyte supports anything like that (i.e. -
doesn't require Windows or DOS or a floppy to flash BIOS) then it's
probably a good candidate.
Asus support isn't great. Their websites are slow and everyone seems
to complain about lack of communication when they have problems.
Again, I don't know anything about Gigabyte on that account.
Good luck.

I recently bought a Gigabyte mobo and it has Q-Flash. It will update
the BIOS without needing a OS. According to the book, you just
download the update and put it on a USB stick, must be FAT32/16/12, and
hit the end key when the BIOS screen comes up. It sounds pretty easy.
I have not done this yet tho.
Hope that helps.
