I am just trying to be cheap but not restrictive to learn (how about these connector kits, like the arcade, or the segments screen?)

I have a Papilio One 250K but I would recommend the Papilio One 500K (or Papilio Pro -- I have one of these, also), if you think you want to get into the embedded processors in the future -- like the ZPUino. However, you can learn a lot with the smaller board. Also, you probably want something like the LogicStart MegaWing so you can play with some simple I/O devices. I don't have one of these boards becuase I have boxes of LED, LCD, VFD displays, switches, connectors, and electronic stuff I've collected over the years that I can use.

Take a look at the Showcase on The Gadget Factory and see what people have done with the different size Papilio boards. This might help you decide on what hardware to buy.
