I prefer the Quantum Platform package; it supports hierarchical state  
machines, has an AVR port available, and skips the separate  
representation of the state machine (i.e. it is not table based). So  
its RAM footprint is very small.

I've used it extensively on the AVR (I wrote the first port, but you  
can download the "official" one now). I have also written a version in  
Ruby.

It's available both under the GPL v2 license, as well as a commercial  
license with reasonable rates.
