OpenELEC nightlies starting from tomorrow will have an Expert Setting Menu to easily disable Mpeg-2, Mpeg-4 and VC1. VC1 is disabled by default. So now it should be possible to watch "some" VC1 Interlaced blurays without switching vaapi manually off.
Those with artifacts will work brilliant after gotham. As we don't updated ffmpeg in master that late before beta.
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.

RM knows ... nobody else.
Edit:
Btw. Don't wait for stable. Use it _right now_ that way it's the only chance to get bugs fixed. Complaining when it's called stable and a certain feature does not work - would be much worse. I think that we tag beta during max next 2 weeks. So things are already quite stable. Now is the time to help testing the core code.

yeah - in doubt ask on IRC and don't take too much on what "some people" might tell. Polite questions (after a minimal google action) are always answered and welcome.

Just got my i5 Haswell NUC yesterday.
Installed latest OpenELEC nightly, and most things are working without much work.
All of my hardware worked right out of the box.
- Samsung EVO mSATA (fast and the regular one has been reliable in other systems)
- GSkill 2x4GB DDR3 1600
- Intel AC7260 WiFi/BT
Took a chance with the Samsung EVO. I hadn't seen it mentioned much, but so far, so good.
I'm having a problem with a m2tech HiFace2 USB to spdif. It is driverless and has worked in other Linux systems, and is listed as working with OpenELEC. Apparently, it doesn't get along with the NUC's hardware. Anybody else get their driverless USB -> spdif adapter working in any OS? I would love to have audiophile quality sound to my DAC.
I still haven't figured out how to get 24p video to my TV, either. Please help!
An attempt to use my Harmony One remote will have to wait for another day.
Thanks to this forum for getting me this far!

I'll be picking up my Intel NUC I3 today/tomorrow - do I need to update the BIOS?
