Basically none. You’ve got the ME (or AMD’s equivalent) on the CPU anyway so you really can’t avoid having some kind of root kit. Older Intel hardware that doesn’t have the ME or can be neutered is the best bet, and these machines don’t use UEFI anyway. Otherwise you could go for a non-Intel/AMD architecture, but there aren’t that many of those around anymore.
