Having built custom hardware breakouts for the Edison. I'm more more inclined to go for a Raspberry Pi.

The straw that broke the camel's a back was the connector between the Edison and the board. It is a nightmare for prototyping. It pretty much requires a pick'n'place to get it right.

Broken out headers for rapid development are a must in any device that claims to be for Makers.

There also exists a kit with Arduino headers if this is what you prefer:
