Some recommendations since they avr scene has exploded, and arduino-compatable boards rock. I recommend supporting the manufacturer by buying direct if you have that option. Shield compatability is very useful when starting out. Choose one from the basic list if you are not sure where to start, but be sure to check out the neat features in the alternative boards too.
