Here in Germany, Toradex ARM SoMs are quite popular for industrial applications. The hardware is reliable and the software for it (Windows whatever CE is called now and Linux BSPs for Yocto) is pretty good on release and well maintained for many years afterwards. The modules are not exactly cheap for the performance but also not super expensive, generally in the 50-150€ range.
