Digisparks are nifty, if you prefer arduino.

But the venerable MSP430 comes on these tiny boards @ ~$3/ea:

after getting this programmer w/ one board for $20:

These are my choice for small build-in-and-forget projects.

The one issue with this, and with the Arduino Mini Light is that they don't have an mounting points although you could have a dummy USB socket on the inside of your case for the Digispark. The Leonardo without headers is not much more so I'd be tempted to go for that option for deployment.
