Hello Pietro, PC Engines Alix boards (AMD Geode / X86 arch.) are very easy and multifunctional. It uses CF cards for storage and can be easily flashed with an external card reader/writer. They have a DB9 serial port and also a TTL-level serial header (and I2C). Similar boards from Soekris Engineering also exist and older models (like the NET4801) can be found cheaply online.
I would advise against Mikrotik boards, because they use NAND flash and are hard to get OpenWRT running on initially. Once running it's easy to upgrade though and it's good hardware in general, but not for beginners or for tinkering. If you can get your hands on an Ubiquity RouterStation (Pro), that would also be a very nice option. It uses an AR71XX chipset, just like many of the Mikrotik boards, but are easier to flash and documented better. I myself use the RouterStation Pro, the Alix 2D13 and Alix 6F2 extensively.
