You dont have a lot of choice ..
I know the Asus K8V Deluxe and the MSI ... dont remember the number .. both are with the VIA chipsets and are good .. and you can get the Gigabytes with the nforce chipsets on it too.. Personnally i can recommend you the K8V but it's prolly like 150$ USD

All the new motherboard are great now .. but the first batch of them ( not all but many ) had a problem with the 333 ... If you get one used .. just check for this .. and if you get one new .. nvm ! And btw they are all " deluxe ".

No the Pro version isnt out yet and to be honest wait for that for two reasons.
Main reason is that if you want to overclock the PCI/AGP buses are not locked limiting your overclocking potential greatly and also the Pro version is meant to support PCI Express.
ETA June.

If you're looking for an overclockable A64 mobo, you sholud look for one with AAGP and PCI locks, though I don't know of any.
In my knowledge, the AMD64 is only moderately overclockable without these, as if you overclock too much, the AGP and PCI overclock also but too much, and might result in data corruption.
Also if you use Serial ATA HD, I've heard they are more sensitive to overclocked systems.
Edit: oh, Tahir already noted the same thing

Some versions of the nforce3 150 board do have working agp/pci locks, however that is a lower performing board to begin with, so that kind of cancels out the overclock.
All versions of the nforce3 250(they do have socket 754 versions out now) should have working pci/agp locks, and unlike the 150 it actually performs onpar or better than the competition.(it gives a slight performance boost to nvidia cards)
VIA has a new chipset coming out that will have agp/pci locks.
