Most importent part of your multicopter. It's brains.
All listed flight controllers / projects support GPS features like position hold and waypoint flight
Big comparison table of different projects
Mikrokopter
Best in class both hardware and software. But very commercial and closed source. Most expensive.
Arducopter
Very mature OpenSource project. Not as cheap as MultiWii, but a lot better ground station software.
The Hextronic Pro from Hobbyking can be used as ArduCopter:
MultiWii
Cheapest variant to get something to fly. Flightboard start at 10$ (without GPS) on eBay.
Some awesome facts:
- Can be used as standalone cam gimbal controller.
- Is able to drive a bi-copter (Osprey style)
- The flexbot micro copters are based on this (MultiWii version 2.2)
- Minimal hardware: Arduino pro mini with WiiMotionPlus gyro board
