Is Intel DP55WB compatible with G.Skill Eco and Ripjaws ??

Eco G.SKILL-Products
Ripjaw G.SKILL-Products

..i couldnt find it under listed supported motherboards.

Also if you could suggest which one of these two RAMs are better performers??!?

Intel Boards are quite complicated to run at 1600mhz rams .

Both rams will run in that board but only at 1333mhz not 1600mhz..

Ripjaws are always enthusiast rams so they are better than other ECO series.

In order to run RIPJAWS at 1600 you need to set at 1.6v in BIOS ,so not sure Intel Boards will allow that option.. Just check in your BIOS if you see any options to change RAM volts. if it is possible then you use RIPJAWS too.

Performance of Ripjaws i awesome on 3rd Party Boards. Ripjaws runs @ 1600Mhz and your board has Support for DDR3 1333 /1066 MHz DIMMs. So even thought you go for the 1600MHz it will downclock to 1333MHz.
