If AMD only setup, then ethos else simplemining. Do you have time and patience? then install centos7/ubuntu and compile the miners yourself (thats what i do).
I stay away from windows mostly because i am comfortable with linux. Note, you will see a drop of about .5mhz - 1mhz in linux (claymore). But i think you can ignore that.

Have you been able to get centos7/ubuntu to work with a mix of Nvidia and AMD cards with the B250?

My board has never seen Windows.

I believe that you mentioned that you're using Xubuntu 14.04. How come you choose that version of Linux? Do you just like it or is it somehow better than Ubuntu or other distros?

I'm running asus B250, Ubuntu 16.04, two 1070tis and I'm testing with a RX580, NVidia 390.25 driver, AMD 17.50-511655 driver. ethminer sees the 1070tis and RX580 but I can't get ethminer to mine 1070tis with cuda and mine with the RX580 with opencl. It will mine with 1070tis with cuda all day long Smiley

Are you using an old NVidia driver that somehow doesn't conflict with the RX580? Or do you think this is an OS issue / ethminer issue?

Thanks.

Yeah and spend 2 hours reinstalling drivers. Those old HDDs are unusable, you'd better just buy a cheap flash drive and put any linux mining build on it.

Yeah, I was using HDD and was getting errors using ethminer and parity. Once I switched to using a SSD, the errors went away.
