Honestly, I wouldn’t get either of those.
I would go with an ODROID-U2 or ODROID-U. They are $89 and $69 respectively. They are much more powerful than the Raspberry pi and the Beagleboard, albeit a little more pricey. But you get a quad core Samsung Exynos processor, 2 or 1 gigs of ram, and a Mali-400 quad core GPU. It is basically the same processor that comes in the Galaxy S3 or Galaxy Note II phone. These run XBMC with 1080P very nicely.

Sorry for the late reply. I think that both should be fine, they are very similar. Bluetooth is nice for pairing with phone/mouse/headphones/PS3 controller… I have damaged BT on my imito and I don’t miss it much. You can check for custom ROMs on http://blog.geekbuying.com or http://www.freaktab.com . From what I have found, MK809II should be compatible with ROMs made for imito(which is quite supported).You don’t really need the custom rom though. PS: What are you going to use as an input device?
You're asking me I suppose. I figured a USB Keyboard & mouse, unless there is a better option.
