You use several different (micro)controllers on your show; AVR/Arduino, PIC, Propellar, whatnot.
Could you maybe say something about what you view as the strong and weak point for the different controllers?

Mostly, arduino is a useful microcontroller. It covers many versions ARM, AVR, Fio for wireless applications, uno for beginners, mega (for DIY 3d printing) and many add-on shields that stack up (like a burger
) and open source hardware that is easy to build. Pic has more IO but the problem is that it needs to be 3.3V(for the IO) which you may want to consider. Don't know much about MSP 430(may be usefull though).
MY advice:
Use a raspberry pi. Useful cheap and it can run Linux and has a special add on shield that turns it into an arduino( almost)
