Which Z77 for Ivy build?

i photoshoped a picture of a few Z77 motherboards and there specs but which one would be better?
I will probably be doing 2x 680 in SLI and custom watercooling.

If you're going to SLi 2 $500 cards, you might as well go Socket 2011 with a 3820 for the 40 PCI-express Lanes.

I'm interested in this too; should I make my own topic or just ask here? I'm really only looking at two different boards.


Edit: nevermind, I see you what you meant about the Z77 version of your Z68 mobo, I was looking at the Maximus V GENE.
