I've not used Altera, only Xilinx, but I'm sure there is a good range of development boards. Simple designs in VHDL (or Verilog if you use that) ought to compile equally on Altera or Xilinx parts. Obviously if you utilise particular design features that are unique to one or the other you will have to modify your code.

There aren't many of us here at UKVRR who have done FPGA work. Darryl and I have both used Xilinx with VHDL. I think Darryl may also have used Altera.
