Depends on your budget. If your on a tight budget get the cheaper one(i think the B75 ones will be cheaper). If you plan to run a single graphics card and don't over clock, its great.

Also remember the B75 chipset supports only 1333 MHZ RAM, so you cant run high speed ram on that board.

^^B75 chipset supports 1600MHz RAM with ivy bridge i processors.It is only when you pair a sandy bridge i processor it can go max up to 1333MHz as they support a maximum of that much frequency.
