I'll buy a LoweRISC as soon as they have something for sale (and I have one of the first HiFive1s). But at the rate both organisations are progressing I expect to be able to get a quad core 1.6 GHz 64 bit RISC-V "Pi-like" board from SiFive before LowRISC. Possibly even this year. I've gathered from other things they've said that they're sampling wafers with that SoC about now. Ideally, they'll both succeed.
