what are the pros and cons?
Raspberry Pi or Orange Pi?

Orange Pi has better performance on paper, but almost no support. Raspberry Pi has top support but the hardware isn't as good.

Orange pi is chinese botnet, but it probably has better specs. Ethernet and USB are shared on the raspberry pi, so it sucks as a server.
There is no reason to buy a raspberry pi unless you have a child who wants to fuck around with linux. There is no point in using it in robots because you need another microcontroller to control motors and it's OpenCV support isn't very good.

Have there been any new SBCs released lately, or is the hype about them still slowing down? I know the Asus Tinker Board was released just over a year ago and remember seeing some hype about that since it would be able to run completely open firmware, but I've never heard anything about it since.

Orange pi uses allwinner.
Allwinner is notorious for relying on binary blobs and nonstandard patches (and also violating the GPL, but that's a side issue). Supposedly they're getting better, but I wouldn't hold my breath. Clock for clock, they do perform better than the broadcom chips. Some people have tested the clock skew, and the allwinner based orange pi keeps time better.
The raspberry pi uses the broadcom, and before the 3, everything but the sound and video is over USB 2. That can make things laggy, as it requires cpu for each access. The 3 does fix a lot of those issues, but it gets hot. Also, there is good driver support, and mainline kernels work (with blobs).
Basically, buy a pi3 if you want a raspberry pi.
