Why bother with arduino-anything when there exists plenty of proper
cheap devboards from chip vendors with proper on-board debug
adapters?.. Just pick the microcontroller that suits your purposes,
then see if an official eval/demo/discovery board is available for it.

If there were no specific requirements I'd go for something from
numerous STM32 families because I had mostly positive experience with
those chips and because there're some sane libraries from independent
developers (e.g. libopencm3, stm32plus).
