The device family is the chip you chose. And which chip you chose really depends on application.

If you want millions of gates and high-speed coms, you got for a stratix 4 ($thousands), if you need something cheap that can still do plenty you go for a cyclone 3 ($hundreds).

With modern devices as they all have plenty of memory and embedded multipliers, there are only 2 main deciding factors

1. Cost

2. Comms required

I get the feeling the question is aimed at much more outdated technology though.
