mATX AM4 motherboard choice

Hi,
I'm undecided between a few mATX mobos to go possibly with a Ryzen 7 1700 and 2x16gb (preferably ECC) and Fractal Node 804 (this one is really getting hard to find in Europe at least!)

Will have Win10 VM so easiness/reliability/stability of passthrough is a major concern I'm having.

 

Is there any of these which clearly should be a better choice over the others or are "all ok, go with the best price one"

Asrock:

B450M Pro4

X370M Pro4

AB350M Pro4 R2.0

 

Gigabyte:

B450M GAMING

GA-AX370M-Gaming 3

GA-AB350M-DS3H

 

MSI:

B350M Mortar

 

So, basically, I'm undecided between chipset and brand... some of these are really cheap mobos... if they do the job. Great. If not, I don't mind to spend a bit more in the best one.

If I'm not mistaken, Gigabyte ones allow me to go back in BIOS version if something is not ok for passthrough as it has happened in the past. The others I believe cannot do this. But, does Gigabyte have anything against it when compared with Asrock for example?
