You'll want to get a board with the Teensy 3.6 chip.? To be able to do packet, the 3.2 version will work, but if ARDOP or any other modes ever become available for the Teensy, the 3.6 version with more memory and slightly faster processor will be necessary.
The boards will come already configured to run 1200 baud packet, so you can use APRS or PAT or the PiGate software without any modifications.? These are all Raspberry Pi software suites.? APRS is for, well APRS, and PAT and PiGate are for sending email through the Winlink2000 network.
The PiGate software comes as a complete OS image.? The others can be installed on your RaspPi.
Also, depending upon what operating system you install on the RaspPi, you will be able to run commands to connect to a local packet BBS and do the BBS thing.? I would recommend installing the latest Raspbian OS which is designed specifically for the RaspPi.
If you want to use the RaspPi for FLDIGI or WSJTX you won't need to TNC.
