Depends on whether you will want to put in a graphics card, have a dual-graphics card setup or no graphics card.
H67 has integrated graphics and only allows for only 1 graphics card.
P67 does not have integrated graphics so you MUST have a graphics card but you are allowed to have a dual-GPU setup.

I will have a graphics card to put in, and i'm not looking to do any SLI/Crossfire; so would that mean H67 would be suitable for me?

What are you intending to attach to the computer?
Sorry but I am not an expert with brands and reviews, just know if the parts are compatible with one another. Just note that the last 2 mobo in your list has a mATX Form Factor, they are smaller than the ATX (typical mobo for a lot of setup) so everything is squashier than usual to fit into those small cases (normal and big cases will be able to support it though).

Also;
Does anyone know how reliable the shipping service is with PCCASEGEAR? I've never ordered with them before due to the fact i've always purchased from in-stores Will be using their express shipping

Well if it's any consultation, I ordered $2500 worth of parts from them. Shipped on the same day, arrived the next morning, sealed tightly and well packaged.
They are absolutely superb for shipping, pretty much.

Actually change of thought;
I'll purchase the ASUS P8H67-M-LE instead; saves me money
I wont be needing the extra Video Slot, and the Extra Ram slots; hopefully i dont regret it

You should be fine, just don't look at any price lists for computer parts that you've bought already (more often than not, they would've gone cheaper soon after). Just enjoy your new computer that you have now, and think of any savings you made by going a cheaper model to put aside for other things / saving for a future build.

hahaha yeah, thats how i'd like to think also
Now, off-topic, but still related;
I am looking to purchase some Acrylic Panels for a side window mod; I have looked at "Gam Mods" But their postage costs is just too much; anyone know anywhere else in which they sell good quality Acrylic Panels? I went to bunnings, but they're all on-top of each other, all badly scratched up..

Exactly. They make sure your stuff is wrapped well. I swear they must have bought shares in the company that makes that black plastic stuff.
