Both the Stamp and the Arduino have insufficient program memory to run 
Pd, even with no gui. They are best suited for I/O with a serial 
connection to Pd via [comport].
Also the Stamp can't wait for serial input while doing some other task, 
so it works better as an input device.
The Stamp is much slower than the Arduino since it must interpret Basic 
tokens at runtime while the Arduino directly executes the machine code 
resulting from compiling a higher level language.

So if your project involves something like reading sensors or activating 
motors or lights, they are both good for that, whether or not you have 
some higher level of control or display implemented on a desktop/laptop.
