I like the Brainstem from Acroname. I haven't done any big projects with one, but I've played with a couple and they definitely hit the spot in terms of easeability, powerfulity and economicalness. I've used the SV203 from Pontech in the past and it's a solid & simple board. Great if you're keeping the board tethered to a computer and not doing any actual processing on board. Brainstem gives you a little/lot more high level power.
