Choosing your instruments is as much of an engineering problem as the problem itself. Whatever you wind up with, make sure you arrived there based on some reasonable criteria. You'll have some give-and-take: * Is my team productive with it? * Do the components have an acceptable level of integrity and maturity? * Is it fashionable enough, or at least not too unfashionable, so that it does not become the deciding factor for anyone who might become involved?
