With the FPGA things you don't get the "real" experience (compared to original hardware), yet they are expensive and not particularly convenient (compared to UAE).
If I had to choose one of the "hardware imitation" options I'd take the Raspberry Pi 3 since it's cheap, but frankly, if used with a generic keyboard and mouse it's not going to be much different from just running emulation on a PC (or Mac or whatever). In my opinion it would at least need to be built into an Amiga case to be worthwhile.

Well the Apollo-Core project end goal is to a create modern Amiga compatible 68K processor with modern features (64-bit extensions, video decoding features, higher amount of instructions executed per clock cycle, 16-bit audio like the AAA chipset). From what I understand eventually they hope/want to make a true silicon ASIC that could be clocked at a much higher frequency than an FPGA. The Vampire Accelerator is a development tool which uses a subset of the Apollo Core to help develop this core, the end user just get a very fast Amiga experience as a byproduct.
If you guys just want to run existing Amiga stuff faster, then have at it with Emulation. The Apollo Team is attempting to making something new, which seems to be a sin to some of the people here.
