well. As LPC, is much cheaper than PIC32, and can be found here in Brazil at any bakery ..!
My vote is for LPC ..

ARM V's PIC32
Hi all
Vote goes to PIC32
I use pic's to build automated testing solutions in a hurry, work smarter not harder :D
There was a time when i was jumping with joy to have an ARM software from the excellent mE guys. However for me personally this has changed, as i use ARM 7, 9, 11, Starcore & Cortex at work and i have several pro software which intergrates with my various JTAGs (ARM Realview ICE, Ti Blackhawk and the best of the best Lauterbach) this totals a cost of around £100k. I use the Lauterbach kit with my EasyARM dev-board and would likely not change to any other solution regardless of low cost. As has been previously mentioned you can grab the gcc C for free and i agree completely with the comment made that a one click install with the various components all brought together would be a great option to get people up and running with ARM on gcc, perhaps right down to supplying a run from CD distro type option for the many people that are living with windows and would not want to install linux just to compile ARM code. I am sure there are other options like virtual machine etc.
I also toy with the TI MSP430 series which is a great little low power consumption tool.
Enjoying 8.2.0.0
