Martin's LPC21ISP program should be well suited to production use.  Even 
without modification it's command line nature should be a help and it could 
be easily incorporated into a production test program.  Heck as far as a 
paddle board, I've got them to sell ;)  Another connector alternative if 
you are worried about room (and JTAG will be worse than serial) is to place 
the physical connector on a breakway piece and remove it after 
programming.  Reprogramming is more difficult that way of course.
