It seems that GLB has started shipping incomplete v1.31 boards, on which the I2C and Spektrum plugs are not populated. Especially the missing I2C plug makes proper usage of these boards difficult if not impossible.

It doesn't imply any recommendation, preference, or statement as regards quality etc. by the firmware author or anyone else. The list may not be complete, the order of vendors is arbitrary, and vendors not mentioned are equally trustworthy.
