I would say go with the Gigabyte, even though I have never used one. Reasons : SSD, More GPU RAM, plus it should be easier to carry.

Voted for the Gigabyte for the fact that it has an SSD

Advantages with Gigabyte: HDD slots, very useful.
Not really an advantage as Asus have ultrabay in its Blueray drive. So you can swap it with SSD.
IMO, go to a local store where you have the chance to fell them out by your hand before buying and thn buy what you like more.
