Smallest configuration memory for Cyclon V SE SoC

Hi, I am currently designing a product(well, not me, I am just a student in an internship that was put on a project), and one of our option is to use a Cyclon V SE so we get an ARM cortex running lin...

This is what i tough after work, that i could use the HPS to boot Linux and bypass the configuration memory. It then open up the door to another question:

The final product need to be able to convert multiple LVDS stream into an Ethernet stream (still not sure if UDP or TCP). So i could do the data acquisation with the FPGA side, then share it to the HPS side, and let the Linux stack network handle the ethernet.

What would be the cheapest option for this? Linux + GCC + Bitstream + small network application?

SD card? Emmc? some sort of flash memory? Which size? Would this memory work? : http://www.digikey.ca/product-search/en?mpart=s25fl128sagnfi000&v=1274 (The same one as used on the Zymbo board from digilent)
