I am a strong IAR advocate.  I have used Keil, struggled with GNU.

 

For serious work, the debug environment is really the key for me.  You
can use another editor, but you pretty much must us the IDE's debugger.
The IAR debugger is far superior IMO to Keil.  

 

Support from IAR has been pretty good. For some problems, I have
exchanged several emails a day with IAR.  

 

IAR also seems to be the vendor of choice for the embedded ARM demo
boards - OKI, Philips, Atmel, all use IAR for their demo kits.

 

I believe that the 256K limited product is under $2500.  I bought the
unlimited, but most programs have been quite small.  Seems like about
1:1 code size as compared with 8051 - but ARM has so much more
performance.

 

Hope this helps.

 

Dan

I've had a very good experience with Rowley crossworks + crosslink.  
It uses GCC as the compiler with their own IDE wrapped around it.

Great support (even (sometimes) on weekends!).

About 1200 USD including crosslink (USB JTAG debugger).
