  • It is a combination of many factors including availability, price, experience (with microprocessor and tools) and architecture.  I have just finished a job for a client where I could not find any of my normal processors so I ended up get newer part from the same supplier.  This required me to buy an update to my compiler, learn all of the new architecture while attempting to port my existing code onto the new processor.  This ended up taking weeks instead of days and blew any potential profit on this job. Not a great choice.
