Xilinx and VHDL will both give you a way to produce many interesting projects, as well as building industry-applicable experience.

There are lots of projects out there that people are sharing for the Xilinx board.  $150 gets you a piece of hardware that is, like, infinitely configurable to be almost whatever you want it to be.  Of course, you have to learn VHDL.
