All current designs, and the bistreams published in this repository target the smaller XC3S250E based device:

The cost of this is currently $54.35.
If you have any plans to extend the system, then it might be prudent to buy the larger XC3S500E based device:

The cost of this is currently $65.44.
To program the GODIL, it's best to purchase a Xilinx USB Platform Cable. There are Chinese clones available on eBay for approx £20 that work perfectly well:
