One more thing, sorry . . . multi-tasking. . . As Graham mentioned above. You'll probably want to start off with a Beaglebone black RevC. But my motivation in recommending this would be slightly different. I've been using an A5A for over 3.5 years, and in the last 1.5 years have been mostly using an Element14 RevC. It's been pretty solid, but I personally do not specifically need the 4G eMMC. You mileage may vary.
But the only reason why I bring this up is that the Beaglebone Green Wireless has been having driver issues with the wifi module. So unless you can deal with the "headache" of largely trouble shooting these issues yourself. I'd stick with the black until you feel competent. I've also have had hands on with around ~30 Beaglebone green recently for a customer. As far as I can tell they're every bit as good a Beaglebone black too. But, I've been seeing posts on the groups here of people having issues with creating images that work on both . . . again your mileage may vary.
