A Good pilot will practice until he gets it right,
A Great pilot will practice until he can't get it wrong.

Not my experience but I have seen my brother's (primary stage) project where he used the raspberry pi coupled to LDRs to have a solar panel track the Sun. It was great to watch.

My experience ^ - the ~GCS is based on the raspi connected to a 7 inch LED monitor...

It is the pervading law of all things organic and inorganic,
Of all things physical and metaphysical,
Of all things human and all things super-human,
Of all true manifestations of the head,
Of the heart, of the soul,
That the life is recognizable in its expression,
That form ever follows function. This is the law.

Topalle you can use 3.3v to 5v converters to drive small servos or use an atmega in between. The 5v rail can be obtained from the raspi but it shouldnt be pulling a lot of current so kep a tab on the current

Raspberry Pi has better community support, is easier to use(some functions) and has analog video out. Better video performance as well.
