Raspberry PI Pro's Graphics. Beagelbone Black Pro's Everything else.
"Technically", as what is in the reference material, the rPI is supposed to use less power too. However, according to the documents I've read, this does not include the power used by the graphics. Which can be quite substantial. About the graphics, it is very good on paper, and in real world usage. So if you intend to use video, graphics, maybe even play games ( does not sound like it ), the rPI is the way to go. I've also read that the rPI is supposed to have a faster sd card implementation, but I can not confirm that personally. I'd say the major pro's for the Beaglebone Black would have to be processor speed, and availability( at a reasonable cost ). That is for your use case. Also, setup time is nearly non existent when compared to the rPI. Since the OS comes pre-installed. I've read that you *can* buy pre-installed <whatever> sd cards for the PI, but that's an added cost.
