I don't to "breakout boards" I make cables. The cable uses those 0.1 inch headers and will work with any SBC. As for software, we have all learned now to fully abstract out the hardware. I like using the arduiono for prototypes and learning how some sensor works, then later move the code to some ARM based SBC. The ARM will run Linux but the Arduino is easy because there is no OS to deal with. You CAN move between platforms if you plan in advance to do so.
