What do you think is the best Single board Computer in the market?

Excellent idea.  Thanks for volunteering!

What would be really helpful is a chart/spreadsheet with all of the options listed above and then a break out of details comparing such as price, OS, memory, etc...  With a final note/comment on best applications.  They all seem to have different level of applicable use and a good defining list might help people understand the different choices out there.

Difficult to answer... I did not know some of the boards, but I think raspberry is a very good choice for popularity (a lot of information on the web, huge community) and versatility (several options for OS, even WIN10 IoT). Probably, depending on the application other boards will fit better, but if RPi fits I would choose it. But i would like to choose all of them...

Very useful

Yo Scott!  I hear ya.  I have been assembling Mini-ITX systems for folks since their inception; small is beautiful.  I am still running a Zotac IONITX-F-E (Dual-core Intel Atom 1.6GHz + Nvidia ION graphics) based system as my home file server since it seems a bit sluggish next to my Biostar A68N-5000 based Mini-ITX system.  My favorite Mini-ITX enclosure is *still* the highly efficient Habey EMC-800S (Silver); room for some case fans and tall enough for a souped-up CPU/heatsink/fan if you want some serious performance!

All that aside, I suspect that Gaurav had the new ARM-based SoCs in mind for this poll.  (=:  Not complaining, I love going on a (sine/cosine).

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?

Clem - Initially, it will be an "experience".  I found some folks in the Pine A64 forums who have already built Debian images with LXDE, XFCE, and MATE desktops.

E,g, http://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=497

The Archlinux effort hit a snag for 2GB RAM units which will work out eventually.  It should be "fun" until support has been formalized somehow!

in that review I see:

While a lot of people are interested in the PINE 64, unfortunately, the open-source situation with the board will be less than ideal due to the Mali-400 MP2 graphics. While there is the Lima driver project aimed at reverse-engineering ARM Mali graphics, that initiative is basically dead where at least the Raspberry Pi VC4 driver stack for Broadcom graphics is finally becoming useful in an open-source world with a proper DRM/KMS driver and Gallium3D driver.

What do you plan on using for software?

For USD 39.00 + shipping, the Pine A64+ (see details at reference) + 2GB DDR3 RAM, WiFi, 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet RJ45, and Bluetooth.  No GPS built-in, though.  At the moment, only Android and Debian Linux (XFCE/LXDE/MATE desktops) are community-supported.  Ubuntu, Arch, and Fedora are on the way.

I ordered one.  The attraction?  2GB DDR3 RAM - the low threshold for a Linux desktop, in my opinion.  Time will tell if it lives up to its kickstarter hype and technical specifications

One review: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=pine-64-benchmark&num=1

Wow, that Jetson TK1 performed well in the Phoronix benchmarks!  I guess that at USD 193 (Amazon), it ought to.

With a quad-core 1.2Ghz Snapdragon 410 processor, 1GB RAM, 8GB SanDisk e.MMC storage, on-board WLAN, GPS, and Bluetooth, the DragonBoard is powerful and versatile enough for just about any project you throw at it.
