These are substantially more powerful than both of those families.

Also substantially more expensive, especially compared to the likes of the banana pi zero, which gets you four cores at 1.2Ghz, 512MB RAM, Linux and a GPU for 35% cheaper. Pair that with a Blue Pill STM32 for $3 if you need realtime and you still have money left over.
That looks like a great stack!

In the "Pi" family, for a Linux SBC, which pi/clone gives a good bang for the buck?

banana pi zero has shown up multiple times but since you are in the know, I wanted to ask what's a good SBC to run OpenWRT on, for example

> Blue Pill STM32 for $3

The Black Pill STM32 for $4 are an ever better value!

What is your point? This is more powerful than all of the ones on your linked page.
Marginally. The STM32H7 series offers Cortex-M7 cores at up to 480 MHz, with a Cortex-M4 coprocessor on some parts at 240 MHz. It's not quite as fast as the i.MXRT1052, but it's damn close.
The posted coremark scores do not support your claim that NXP iMXRT1062 is substantially more powerful. If I take these numbers at face value, then STM32 promises up to 45% more perf.
