IMHO if this is to be a sticky then the original post need to be sorted after CPU architecture and hardware platform, (and preferably supported OS too), but not manufacturer or brand.
Intel NUC, Chomebox, and Zotac for example all uses x86 CPU architecture and then might have same or different CPU models.
Most other currency listed in the original post uses ARM CPU architecture but chipsets from different manufacturers and models, and some supporting Linux and others Android.
Anyhow, the CPU architecture, hardware platform, and supported operating systems are much too important to know.
Better example of this type of sticky is eskro's list which first looks a users demands, needs, and wants/wishes http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=94199
Like for example if Netflix is a must then that quickly narrows it down, and so does PVR, physicial DVD-Video or Blu-ray Disc media support, and gaming requirements.
How important is price, are you on a clearly limited budget, and so on.
