regions are not compatible with each other for all SPI games. The single board versions are called "... 2000", so for example "Raiden Fighters Jet 2000", and they are worse than the SPI mobo+cartridge versions, mainly sound-wise, but also the difficulty was lowered.
Changing SPI cartridges out for other cartridges is a risky process, so it´s better to get a separate motherboard+cartridge combo for each Seibu SPI game. They are mostly sold like this, anyway - while you might stumble across a loose cartridge, you will rarely find a bare motherboard without a cartridge. Therefore, I wouldn´t buy a cartridge unless you already have a motherboard of the same region.

There are two stand-alone PCB versions of RFJ; One is the 2000 version with poor sound (it lacks the Yamaha sound chip) and the graphics glitch slightly. The second version is the same as the SPI version, except it's all on a single PCB.
The SPI cart regions are not compatible with boards from other regions, however, it is possible to change the region code on a cart if you have access to an EPROM burner. It would most likely be easiest to just get a Japanese mobo and collect carts from Japan; That seems to be the most common region. RFJ is frequently sold with a mobo, probably because it still has a decent value. Other games tend to be available as a cart only.
The carts themselves aren't very difficult to swap, but not quite as easy as changing an MVS cart. It isn't necessary to have a separate SPI system board for every cart, unless you find yourself wanting to change carts all the time; Then it would be much more convenient.
