Current i5s and i7s are Haswell CPUs. Since current Macs use Haswell, compatibility should be good.

Drivers will be more developed for Ivy Bridge boards (Z77, B75, H77) - simply because it has been out longer. However, if you get a board that is listed on Tony mac then you should have almost zero problems with stability.

I'd go for Haswell.
