Connect NFC non-gadgeteer board to FEZ Hydra

Hello,
after developed a driver (http://unfc.codeplex.com/) for this NFC board…

…that works well on Netduino board using wires, I want to connect the same board to a FEZ Hydra using socket.
For the connection of a non-gadgeteer board to a gadgeteer board I saw that there are some possibilties.
They are the following :

Breakout Module Set (https://www.ghielectronics.com/catalog/product/405) : in this case I have to use an IDC cable to connect to the FEZ Hydra and wires for the NFC board (are cables included into the package ?);
G-Plug Module (https://www.ghielectronics.com/catalog/product/430) : in this case I no need IDC cable because the connector goes on the FEZ Hydra directly and I have to use wires for the NFC board connection;
Extender Module (https://www.ghielectronics.com/catalog/product/273) : in this case I need an IDC cable for FEZ Hydra connection and wires for the NFC board;

I think that the better solution is G-Plug Module for my porpouse.
Is it right ?
Any suggestions ?

Paolo.

I Would use a standard breakout module.
Wires are not included. Just 5 pcs of the breakout boards.
Just connect it to hydra and connect the NFC module via cables to the breakout board

But with breakout I need IDC cable.
With G-Plug module I don’t need this cable.

You’re right! Also a good possibility Sorry for that

I have and use them all. Yes, they all work as you mention, and yes g-plug are my current favourite for prototyping with.
