I noticed a lot of people are trying to flog off the ACA board on ebay.

If you want a little bit of speed a 68020 with be about the same as an 030 at the same clock speed. 28mhz will make cpu tasks 100% faster than the 14mhz onboard with ram.
It really is a small speed increase. If you need cpu power consider other options.

Were there any bugs in the Apollo 1230 accelerators, like there was in their 1240s?

An 040 or 060 can be overkill, unless there are a couple of programs that you know will take advantage of it.
It will give you plenty of CPU power, but it won't speed up the chipset.
One thing I liked having my 040 for was shapeshifter.

For web browsing nowadays you need a 1Ghz processor minimum. But don't forget the Amiga is just a hobby, so you only be going online for Aminet I would think.
