ST7 Compiler -- Which One?

Hi, I'm looking at doing development on the STMicroelectronics ST7 range of microcontrollers and wondering whether people's experiences with the software tools can be conveyed to me.

The areas I'm interested in are the compilers and simulators. The compilers we've compared are those from Metrowerks and Cosmic. The simulators are those from STM, Metrowerks and Cosmic. The STM simulator is bog basic. As we plan to use the simulator for automated testing, the Metrowerks and Cosmic ones with File I/O interfaces seem a more likely candidate.

Any input on this would be greatly appreciated.

I have used both cosmic and metrowerks (formally hiware) for a number of years and out of the two would recommend cosmic as the better compiler. For simulation the ST simulator (Visual Develop) is the best, especially for peripheral simulation. Is there any reason why you want to perform automated testing in a simulator ? Is a code testcase not sufficient. The most popular testing tool for the st7 is tessy from Razorcat - this is not cheap though.
