As long as your applications works on an ARM architecture, all these technologies are fine. If you need a linux environment, just run a headless linux VM locally will do.

Stick with ur budget.
Consider 5K / 12

It is all about budget. If you don’t feel you need or want to pay for the premium components like a mini led, or the 120hz promotion display, or much better speaker system. you can always settle for the MBA 15, or 13. They are all very capable machines, just not the top tier only.
