Which motherboard should I get?

Still deciding between two mATX boards, both with 6 SATA ports, 2 m.2 slots, but different PCI slots.

Starting off with a simple build for now, but may want to add 10gig networking and more sata slots.

 

The two boards are Gigabyte Aorus B560M Elite and Asus prime B560M-K.

 

Gigabyte:

• 1 PCIe x16 slot gen 4 (maybe gen3?)
• 1 PCIe x16 slot @x4 gen 3 (PCIEX4)
• 1 PCIe x1 slot

Asus:

• 1 PCIe x16 slot gen 3
• 2 PCIe x1 slot gen3

i like the gigabyte board better because of the usb 3.2 gen 2 port, the extra full size pcie slot and the 2 extra ram slots since more ram is always appreciated in a server.

That said it uses a realtek nic which more than likely will not work without some tinkering for the foreseeable future. 
I have a mobo with what i suspect is the same realtek nic (wasn't able to find the model number of the aorus board nic), I cannot use it at all and resorted to using a usb adapter i had on hand instead. 

If you can splurge on your 10gb ethernet sooner than later def go for the gigabyte
