I wonder too why MIPS ? IMO ARM is your best bet nowadays, ARM is more and more breaking through even into 8 bit apps where eg. deeply embedded Cortex now runs. Just about any consumer device today has ARM in it. I reckon that soon ARM experience will be a must for engineers.
If you want ARM, Olimex is a great choice and great value. I use a SAM9-L9260 board. I've been very happy with it. It costs little and has everything to start with (uC)linux. USB host and device port, Ethernet, MMC/SD/SDIO slot, serial RS232 64 MB RAM, 512 MB Flash 200 MHz ARM926 with MMU, DataFlash for boot etc. etc. It's 99% compatible with Atmel's AT91SAM9260EK, but costs1/3 the price.
