Which is better?

Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L
-=or=-
Abit IP35-E

apart from pretty colours and fractional price drop in favour of the gigabyte

Will you be overclocking?

im not much of an overclocker but from what iv read the 2180 should go to an easy 3ghz so... possibly yes

Then I'd take the IP35-E. Both are not known for their overclocking prowess but the Abit should do a little better. For a slight bump in price the Asus P5K would be better for the job though.
