I've been hugely impressed with what the BeagleBone offers; it's really a shame it frequently gets overshadowed by "that other board from the UK". Apart from just having a vastly superior array of I/O options (including analog in, which is really important for sensor arrays) the fact that the design is fully OSS is really encouraging. I hope the community around it continues to grow.
