Any experience with "Asus A8N-SLi" or "Gigabyte K8NXP-SLI" mobos?

Personally, unless there are cost reasons, take the 939.  It has double 
the memory bandwidth.  It doesn't make a huge amount of difference to 
unix type apps.  In my experience, it make a small to medium improvement 
for most apps, and a large improvement to some.  Yes, that is over 
generalized.  Also in general, both are excellent platforms.

Both of my primary development boxes are still 754's.  I haven't felt 
the urge to upgrade them to 939's yet.  Once the Rev-E's come out, I 
think I'll take the plunge though.
