I use Rasbian on my pi's.      its pretty hard to beat $35 for the pi3 
if cost is important.

I got my pcDuino3 Nano Lite for $20, but it is hard to find it at that 
price.

Oh, and it is arduino compatible, so if you put Fedora-arm on it, there 
are the development tools for arduino available.  That is what I 
originally got this board for, but I have not really gotten into arduino 
development.

I run CentOS 7 on my rpi2 and rpi3 devices but probably my view is a
little bit biased :-)
I (obviously) prefer to run the same distro everywhere, from low end
devices like raspberrypi to higher nodes like Power8 ppc64/ppc64le : you
just feel "at home" :-)

Not only am I able to run Centos on my Cubie armv7s (medon and onlo are 
outwardly facing), I have Redsleeve 7 running on an old Pogoplug 
Kirkwood armv5.  I do have to use a Fedora-arm 18 kernel for armv5.

Oh and ClearOS7 on my Windows file server.

So I basically have the same OS on all my servers.

Though I have been around *nix for 20+ years, it is not my business, and 
having one OS keeps my life simpler.
