What are the best recommendations?

  In my experience, the BeagleBone Black is much better all around. A few key reasons: a proper power supply connection, far more GPIO interfaces for connecting lights, sensors etc (raspberry pi has far fewer), 8 PwM outputs (pi has 1), 8 analog inputs (pi has none). From a cost point of view, you need to buy an SD card for a Pi, beaglebone has 2GB onboard and a far faster bus so booting and application performance is vastly better. If you add up all of the costs to put a project together (analog to digital converters, PWM breakout boards) + SD card, the pi actually costs more. That said, the pi does have 2 USB ports and BBB has 1, so that is a downside for some scenarios. Technical documentation of the BBB is a world better than pi. 4 mounting holes at each corner and all io interfaces at 2 opposite ends of the board which make a Much better form factor as well. There are more, but those the the main ones that come to mind. I hope that helps.
