Which mobo would be the best for me? I'm looking to get my 1090T to around 4.3ghz. No extreme overclocking though.

I'd choose between the Sabertooth or the Crosshair. The Biostar is also a pretty decent board.

It is actually noticeably faster in games. The old DDR2 I was using strangled performance. The Samsung RAM I bought also overclocks well.
