The Arduino Due has more processing power then the M0+. When you already know a little about programming and electronics, this is a very good choice. The Arduino Zero or MKRzero or M0 have a M0+ processor at 3.3V and they can be used for all kind of nice projects. Start with an Arduino Uno if you want to learn programming and have fun with leds and buttons. It's always good to have one lying around. My suggestion is to use an Arduino Uno for all kind of testing. The Arduino Mega pins can drive more than 20mA, it can be used to drive 10 leds with 20mA simultaneously, the Arduino Due can't do that. When a 3.3V with SPI is used, you need more hardware. When a 3.3V sensor with I2C is used, you need a I2C level shifter. The Arduino Mega 2560 board is the only board with 10k pullup resistors at SDA and SCL, therefor it has a 5V I2C bus. That is a lot easer with the Arduino Due which runs at 3.3V. Most sensors are 3.3V, and also a SD memory card is 3.3V. Many older shield are not compatible with the Due, but do you really need to use an old shield ? The new Arduino Ethernet Shield 2 is also compatible with the Due. For example the Ethernet Shield V1 version 'R3' can be used with the Due. The 'R3' version boards and shields are compatible with 3.3V and 5V.
