IMHO Ion takes a lot of beating. Also:

Beware of likely audio driver issues on the compute stick.
Beware of potential overheating on the compute stick.

Also if you can get a Asus Chromebox at a good price, it is pretty
darn good. You can replace or dual boot the ChromeOS. I have 2 running
kodi as media players and myth frontends (via the kodi pvr.mythtv
addon) and they are great. But you can install any linux, so mythbuntu
would set it up as a nice mythfrontend.
