I chose RAMPS for my first board exactly the reason lazzymonk points out. One mistake and you get to replace everything. Maybe for a subsequent build I'd chose a different board, but I like having at least the stepper drivers as separate modules. The only thing I don't like about the ramps is all the header pin connectors. I would have preferred edge connectors for a cleaner, flatter electronics. Screw terminals would also be better than just header pins for lasting, tight connections.
