I lot of people are using Raspberry Pi, but the PcDuino is more powerfull (http://www.domotiga.nl/projects/domotiga/wiki/PcDuino). The choice is up to you, because remember - lower power hardware is slower and can run less things.

Where do you need such 40 relay thingie for? For sensors is Z-Wave a good choice to go for.
