Just because you had a bad experience doesn't mean others have. I've been using Gigabyte for many years and only had one experience with a faulty board. RMA'ed went smooth and great for me. I still have that old system too. I've called Gigabyte for raid support and was a good experience.
Stay away from Gigabyte mainboards is all I can tell you. Support is horrible. They hardly ever update their BIOSes, Gigabyte software for managing the mainboard is a mess (when it works, when you read their forums you clearly see, it mostly doesn't work). I've had my BIOS selfdestroyed twice already since I bought my AORUS GA-AX370-Gaming K7 in September, it just kills itself when computer is in standby for a long enough time, thanks god it got dual BIOS so you can recover the system and overwrite the broken BIOS that way. No, can't recommend it, was my first and last mainboard from that company.

Truth. Hell my Gigabyte X58 board was the only one of 5 different ones I had that would do above 210 BLCK with my X5650. A 2.66 6 core @ 4.5ghz with just a h100.
Ive never had one issue with Gigabyte. Doesnt mean others wont, but AsRock honestly is my favorite. They do more fore less IMHO. Somewhat modern version of DFI. I have had more ASUS boards eff up on me, more then MSI even.

Gigabyte Board is full, very full, of people having severe problems with mainboards, specially Ryzen boards, so that's me and many more. From dead or bricked mainboards to hardware not doing what's it supposed to do. Gigabyte was indeed very good years ago, but it's not anymore. Just have a look at drivers dates from their high end Ryzen mainboard. They do one initial release and are done with it.

this is by far the best looking board gigabyte has ever released with specs to match.
and although gigabyte's top of the line products are built well and keep to spec, the rest of their boards have spotty at best qc and often go for a cheaper spec than they've advertised. still.
so i'm loving my asrock (entry tier Taichi), but i'd buy msi, asus, and asrock over gigabyte mobo's any day.
