I find running my home servers on USFF x86_64 systems to be much more reliable. You can find them used for the same price as a kitted out raspberry pi, and they are faster, have more ram, and more durable disks.
I like USFF because it's essentially laptop components in a mini desktop case. With power saving features turned on (currently I force all power saving features on using powertop) they don't use many watts.
I don't rely on raspberry pi for anything that needs to run 24x7 because of sd card wear and the hassle of downtime and replacing/reflashing/reconfiguring a new card causes.
