What breakout board to use with Smoothstepper?

I'm considering Smoothstepper for laptop use on a small desktop PCB/engraver, what do you guys use as breakouts?

from CNC4PC and if yes then why?
Thanks Rusty

No experience with CNC4PC stuff but I can say that the PMDX boards are excellent quality and I have never seen anyone have one fail.

I have had one PMDX for probably 7yrs and another for 5 and the others 4 and all have worked right out of the packing and never missed a beat.

No experience with PMDX but lots with CNC4PC stuff

I am very happy with it and would buy from them again
