That doesn't depend on the processor it depends on the compiler. I am sure if you looked hard enough you could find a compiler for the controller now that you can program in BASIC. I am sure they are going to pic a Processor that has alot of availible compilers. Which would force me to lean towards the AVR......or an ARM if they wanted us to have higher processing power. But for some reason I just don't think they would go for an ARM processor, I don't think it is neccesary. Basically anything you can do on a 32 bit ARM processor you can do on an 8 bit RISC processor it just takes more clock cyclesm and maybe additional hardware. I don't see any problem with sticking with an 8 bit system, I have seen 8 bit webservers, and USB systems, etc. I would put my money on a atmega128 or a atmega2560 both by atmel.
But then again, I may be a little biased.......
