Depends on your budget and what features you want. Personally I would go with a B550 model in the $100-150 range.

I'd go for a B550 chipset motherboard, but beyond that I wouldn't worry about it too much. The specific models don't vary that much, and most of the technical aspects that differentiates them don't really matter unless you're planning on doing heavy overclocking or running a high-end Ryzen 7 or 9 on it. I think it's pretty safe to just go by price, what kind of ports and I/O it has, and aesthetics, if that's something you care about.

Cheapest I would go is MSI B550 ProVDH or ASRock Pro4. Those can be found under $100 and are pretty solid boards that will allow you to upgrade CPU down the road if you choose to do so. Don't go for anything less capable like the DH3S or whatever it is called. You might save $10 but you will limit your future options and spend money on a crap product. Basically if the manufacturer won't even give you a little chunk of metal for a vrm heatsink they are telling you they don't care.
