Well the fiberglass in the PCB reduces humidity damage, in certain regions of the world where boards are sold there are a very high numbers of RMAs due to humidity, the fiberglass PCb is a bit more expensive but accounts for it.
2oz PCB also isn't something normally done. I know ROG boards do have this, but the rest of the mainstream asus lineup might not, it is expensive b/c of price of copper, but it also allows you to not heatsink some MOSFETs like on the UD3H.
The Anti-static (ESD) ICs are added onto the USB ports, as are one fuse per port (the fuses allow the high current output to charge the new ipad for instance(which requires 3x USB spec, and gigabyte provides this and proved it)) they also allow one port to go down and not all ports ont eh same fuse like MSI does , there actually are ICs placed so that they can protect components in case of a shock of you discharging into a USB device. Like if you were to plug in a device with a short in it into an MSI back panel, 4 of your USB ports would go down, but on a gigabyte board it would take out that single port and no more.
The Anti-surge IC is a small IC placed on the input from the 24-pin connector which will take a hit and allow operation if your PSu decides to crap out.
Those features weren't advertised in Ultra Durable 3 but are in Ultra Durable 4, ultra durable 4 however does include everyone of ultra durable 3, just called different things like high-temp protection is low-RDS ON MOSFETs for all switching power supplies, with the 2 OC copper, and the japanes caps, the power failure is dual BIOS and the anti-surge, just named different on the front end. .
