There are so many options and the "best" really does depend on what your project requirements are. For the same person the best may well change a lot depending on the design requirements for what they…

If you need a real SBC, go with a mini-itx board. I like Zotac myself, but there are several suppliers.
These boards have everything you need including SATA , 4-64GB mem slots, usually have a PCI and/or PCI-E slot,
some are fanless. Add a Ni-Daq card and labview and take 16 channels of data at 20khz sample rate no problem.

For $150 you can get:
Zotac ZBOX PI320 Quad Core Atom Z3735F Fanless Pico PC with 2GB RAM, 32GB Internal SSD, External 3-in-1 Card Reader, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and Windows 10 Home
mini-itx.com - store - ZBOX Pico PCs

On the other end of the spectrum, If all you need to do is run a couple of servos, then a NXP LPC810 is all you need. $2.50 each

The rest of the boards on your list are somewhere in-between, and most of your time will be spent figuring out what toolchain to use for development and programming.
Clear as mud, eh?

Looks interesting, but I'm kind of soured on kickstarter products these days. They lack the standards and quality control of products built by companies that can afford to build them correctly, test them for EMI, thermal, and other properties. I've got a pile of boards that I can't use due to obsolescence or lack of support from the manufacturer (if they are still in business).
