It depends on what problem you are trying to solve. As it turns out we have a problem to solve and the VEX ARM9 is nearly ideal. The beagle bone isn't on our radar.
What specific advantages does the Vex have over an Arduino that can't be solved with breakout boards/shields for the Arduino (aside from, I assume, easy access to a hand-held controller)?
