I'm currently using a Ronin 030 on my A1000, at 14Mcycles. The hardware is 
excellent. The Ronin 030 for the A2000 supports 28Mcycles. I also have an
881 overclocked to 20Mcycles. Unlike some 030 boards, the Ronin boards 
support the data cache (video ram must not be cached, so most boards inhibit
the Dcache, which kind of limits the value of the board). The Amiga ROM can
also be mapped into 32 bit ram, which makes for a VERY fast, tight machine!
The ROM math libraries automatically detect an 881/882, but optimized code
(like SculptAnimate 4d) helps.
