That comes down to a matter of preference and specific needs. There aren't motherboards that give the processor more "potential" unless you're talking about extreme overclocking scenarios.
Do you want a full sized ATX system or are you trying to go with a smaller case?
Is onboard WiFi required? How many M.2 storage slots do you need?
Do you have a budget?
Be sure to update the BIOS on your motherboard. The 13th and 14th gen Intel CPUs had an issue causing instability and even degradation, and the BIOS updates are still happening. My Asus motherboard just got the most recent one yesterday!

1. Updated with Intel microcode 0x12B to address elevated voltage requests during idle or light activity, further mitigating Vmin Shift instability issues.
2. The option to disable C1E in the BIOS has been removed to ensure it remains enabled, reducing processor stress and maintaining stability per Intel's recommendation.
the MB is "simply" the highway between CPU GPU RAM SSD
so if you invest in a great MB, but then go cheap on those others
the "potential" of any CPU will not be "unlocked".

Crippling the CPU to keep it from getting destroyed too quickly. 13th and 14th gen Intel are a crap shoot.
This is the worst silicon lottery ever. Treat these chips as disposable to avoid disappointment.
You've been warned.

I would have to revisit the topic.
It is just from what I know these chips just have a bad design. The flaw is baked into the silicon. Whatever patches they are doing with software is just to push back the inevitable expiration date.
That is not to say don't buy them. They may make sense at a particular price. But let's be real. They are a gamble.
Now we can never know for sure how widespread the oxidation issue is/was since Intel can't really be trusted.
