Firstly, you should note that the nRF51822 Bluetooth Smart Beacon Kit is not a development kit, but rather you should consider it as a reference design. It is not well suited for development, for a number of reasons:

• It does not have an onboard debugger (you will need a external debugger, which are usually expensive).
• It does not have easily accessible GPIOs as there are no pin headers.
• It has few extra components such as LEDs and buttons.
• Lastly, as the beacon kit is not intended to be used as a development kit, the SDK examples does not support it directly (with exception of the beacon example).

Regarding the board types:

• pca20006 is the nRF51822 Bluetooth Smart Beacon Kit.
• pca10028 is the nRF51 DK. This is the recommended kit to buy if you want to start developing with the nRF51.
• pca10040 is the nRF52 DK. This is the recommended kit to buy if you want to start developing with the nRF52.
