I've mainly had experience with Xilinx and Lattice.  Altera always turned out to be more expensive for the required functionality.

My experience only extends to high-performance, relatively cost-effective FPGAs for DSP so I'd have to say Xilinx.

You mean Intel?  :)

I like Quartus flow, found it easier to use.

Hi

If you are looking at eval boards, you are doing stuff with the tools as much as you are doing anything with the chips. Do you want to learn the latest tools? (Vivado is new, ISE is on it's death bed).

If you want the latest parts, you will be buying "manufacturer boards" and not eBay items. That's fine, the price will be higher.

If you buy the "cheap boards" take a hard look at what the modern tools will support. Older chips generally mean older versions of the tools if you want the "free tool". You could easily be learning all the in's and out's of a tool that is already dead (pre-Eclipse Quartus or the already mentioned Vivado / ISE).

It all depends on what you are trying to do and what your ultimate goals are.

Look at the IDEs first - that is where you spent your time.
