i cant decide between the top mid-range z77 boards..both the exact same price and warranty.

Asus P8Z77-V Pro
pro:
better VRM (12+4) although maybe measured differently from diff mfg
slightly higher memory OC support
thunderbolt upgrade path (although the cards are rumored to cost almost as much as the mobo itself)
better UEFI BIOS
better fan control
better reliability track record
con:
no eSATA and mSATA
no BT
only 1 Gigabit LAN
slightly worse audio chip

Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD5H-WB
pro:
BT
eSATA & mSATA...and extra SATA3 port
better audio chip
user comments seem to have better RMA experience in recent years
2 Gigabit LAN
con:
UEFI BIOS not as easy to use
not put in the same regard as asus reliability
