For AM2, I like the Gig 790X-UD4P.
For AM3 Phenom/Thuban, I like the Gig 890FXA-UD5.
For AM3 FX, Asus boards rule. Sabertooth, CH, or 970 Aura

Scotty has a good list 790/890 chipset for the older stuff and a good stout board for FX CPUs the AURA is a good choice for the price of it

Just a quick note, The 790 boards do need an easy vmod to get the vcore over 1.55v. Other than that, they are durable and reliable.

You're correct, my bad. I was specifically talking about the Gig boards.

Typically to cover AM2 to the current AM3+ you'll want three boards tailored to the socket. DDR2(790) for AM2 a DDR3 (790/890) for the PII/thuban then a decent 970/990 board for FX. 990 will run PII/thuban but sometimes you can run into weird issues when pushing high clocks like a CB that you wouldn't normally have or IMC troubles etc.. which will limit you clock.
