Uno R3 is your best bet. Simple to use and is the basis for most projects. Plus, it has USB for communication while some other boards don't.

  What about the "RedBoard" (https://www.sparkfun.com/products/11575 https://www.sparkfun.com/products/11575)?

    For that purpose, the redboard is essentially the same as an UNO. I have one of each and can swap them out with no problems.

      Redboard also has a USB mini connector, not the full sized square one that standard Uno has. Personally I'd prefer the mini connector, I've always thought that the USB connector was the most oversized thing on an Arduino board.

        The inertia the USB mini connector has in the electronics development arena has annoyed me for years. The connector was deprecated in 2007 and replaced by the rather superior and now very prevalent micro, yet builders just don't seem to want to switch.

    As sbarron noted, the two boards are very very similar. What color do you like more?
