I have a hard choice to make. Both are close in function and price(currently) so comes down to aesthetics. Which would you choose for this build?
The white(ish) board with ARGB
or
The silver with the back connect
or
The silver with the back connect

that’s a tough choice. For me, I don’t really care if the wire show or not especially if you do some neat and tidy wire management. Most of the connections at the bottom will be hidden by your GPU anyways by the way it’s mounted. I think I would go with the LED one.
have you looked into any other sizes other than the ATX boards because you don’t even really see much of it with how you have the GPU mounted? you’re not really utilizing the extra PCI slots anyways.

Personally I like the one with the rgb, I feel like it looks a lot smoother and that is what makes a build clean for me.

I think the silver with the back connect looks pretty nice.

Looked at mATX boards but they only come in B850 that I’ve seen? The ones I listed are X870E I currently have X670E with has PCIE 5 support a lot of B850 don’t’ support PCIE 5 X70 chipset supports more lanes available from the chipset & ATX has more USB ports & USB4 I do use a PCIE slot for my remote power button it’s just hidden be hide the GPU(probably the best $30 on my PC)
Sorry forgot to post the boards
The white background makes the board look darker then they are
