> but at least the H5 has far better support in mainline Linux
Could you elaborate on this?
My experience has been that the BCM2710 (and the RPi 3 board, in general) has had better (and earlier) support in mainline than the Allwinner H5. A client of mine is shipping a product based on the RPi3 after evaluating both (including building their own H5 based board), because support for H5 on mainline was poor and lagging compared to the RPi3.
