I agree with you that we should choose machines that can run in freedom. Then we should also not recommend anyone to install non-free stuff to make the GPU or something else work better afterwards. I have both a BBB and an Allwinner A20 myself and I'm very happy with them (since I run them in complete freedom). There is a lot you can do with a computer without fancy graphics. Depending on the use case, machines like these are perfectly acceptable I'd say.

Regarding the distros that can be installed on them, I believe this issue will be solved very soon. Besides, getting Das U-Boot + Debian by default is much better than EFI + Windows or OSX.
