Not sure what you mean by lightweight, but I've been happy with Asus and Gigabyte motherboards. STAY AWAY from Supermicro: we have a bunch of servers with 64 cores - so we're talking high end - which we bought from Penguin, and we've had a *bunch* m/b problems, as in, we've sent back a number of them for repairs, where they replaced the m/b. So, if high-end servers are like that, I do *not* trust their quality control.
As one other data point, I've had a few Supermicro motherboards, and have only had one bad one so far. (I'm less enamored of their IPMI implementation.)
