Keil
Or another?

I would like to keep the costs under 3K if possible. <<

I think all of the compilers would come in under \ufffd3000, that's quite a 
lot of money these days for compilers.

Support from IAR is usually not great in my experience. The Rowley IDE 
is \ufffd495+VAT and does have very good support. It's the gcc with an 
integrated debugger which works very well. This is what I use and am 
very happy with. I am lead to believe the Keil compiler has slightly 
better efficiency in terms of code density, but most of the time people 
have hundreds of kilobytes to play with and that's not such an issue! ;-)

Cheers,
