Using CAN is no more difficult in software than using PWM. Wiring it is actually simpler, if you can plan the location of the speed controllers in advance. Using the advanced CAN-only features of a Talon SRX will of course add complexity, but you shouldn't avoid CAN just because of things you don't think you will be using.

Price is a good reason to stick with a PWM-only controller, though.
