Sorry, I have an allergic reaction to Ladder Logic.
Anyhow, I think the reason your NI rep said you could program in all those methods was that if you arrange your icons right on the screen in Lab View, it runs just like ladder logic. Similarly, with a clever use of the filmstrip control you could make it act like a flow chart too. I know they have C boxes that work in there somehow too.
If I were the programmer for our team next year, I'd go the C route if they give you cVI libraries. The labview system has a lot of oddities to it, like (this is a dusty memory) you can do everything to an array except one critical function like writing or reading a specific element or something of the sort, can't remember quite. Also, LabView pictures are REALLY hard to document and get jumbled really fast. The pictures aren't too portable really either.
And finally... this won't seem like a big issue till you're using it... LabView has no zoom. The little one or two pixel wide terminals you have to hook wires to don't get any bigger.
It'll be interesting, any which way it goes...
