any advice will be appreciated greatly.
Short answer: the most expensive you can afford.
Long answer: depends on what you plan to do with it. Audio? Video? How
much memory would you like? SDRAM? SRAM? Flash? Need CF/SD/MMC?
Interface options? And which FPGA vendor?
Another possible short answer:
The cheapest one that will get you started. Then when you want to go
beyond its capabilities in some direction, buy a board that supports
that. (See the previous long answer.)
A $30 board that doesn't even have blinkenlights may not be enough to
get you started,

but something in the $100-$150 range has a lot of play value for
figuring out what you want to do for a big project

(if you are a student check out what you can get for $300

Once you have a little experience with that, you can decide what you
need in a board for what you decide to make your big project. Since it
is only 10% or so of what you will be spending it is a good investment.
