It really depends, what you are trying to do with them, for most cases
the spartans are OK.

But serious, we can't help you too much, until we know what you're

Compatible in what sense ? Some chips (some spartan2, 2e, 3) are too 
small, to have anything usfull done, however, you could get the uClinux 
on it.

Get a small Evaluation Board (like the Xilinx $100 spartan3, or better, 
you can ask again here), buy/install the EDK, install the elf-tools, the 
uClinux sources, and start playing ;-)
