I'd go with Fleder's advice for the first one you buy, then after that just get the board.

I also agree. However, a word of caution: when soldering the GPIO headers on, don't do it like this:

Well, that just hurts my heart.

Well, they are not all connected, you forgot a few pins

Thank you for the advice.
