I have used many different multi function boards including Quadram,
AST, Persyst, etc.  My personal preference is Persyst for the following reasons

1.  The Persyst boards we use have a MUCH lower failure rate than any other.
2.  The clock battery lasts a long time as opposed to AST which lasts about
    6-8 months.
3.  They have good expansion modules (dual serial ports, etc.)
4.  The Quadram board manages to foul-up other boards with the placement
    of there hardware clock addresses.

I have a few other reasons but those are my main ones.  Good luck.
