Okay, so I'm a noob, but what is the use of both killer and intel on that board?

Using two seperate connections to double bandwith? It's called 'teaming'.

Still, why two different approaches? Wouldn't it be better to install two of the same, for driver reasons for instance?

I believe it is due to the onboard southbridge chipset already provides a intel internet controller out of the box. If they want to provide two of the same they would have to integrate another chip.
