In preparing for an upcoming Iraq deployment I am trying to make my panel decisions so it can be built while I am gone and ready to be installed by the time I get home. I was really leaning towards OP tech, especially after having a conversation with Deems. Now with the sale to Aerosonic I have some concerns about future experimental support.

I am looking at a solid IFR system with:
Dual screen EFIS
Tru Track Sorcerer/RV10 AP
WAAS capable GPS capable of GPSS and approach
Dual Nav
Dual Com
Traffic and weather capable
Terrain

One of the coms and the standby instruments I intend on tying to an essential buss tied to the battery.

BMA has promise except they have a fairly basic autopilot and I have heard that it doesn't integrate well with other autopilots. however this is not confirmed so don't take my word.

I have been looking at Aspen avionics as well, anyone have any experience with them or any information not provided on their website.

I am all ears and looking for individual experiences about your panels and why you chose your systems so that I can make my own informed decision...without starting a newer version of primer wars!

Also...anyone know of a place to get locks for the baggage door and fuse doors (3 locks instead of the 2 offered by Vans and Aircraft Spruce) that are also keyed to the starter switch?

Eric,

You pretty much described my panel, dual AFS-3500, MX-20, GTX330, SL-30, GNS-480, RV-10 AP, PMA 8000, MC 2.25 CDI, Backup AS & ALT, GDL-69A. Accuracy built mine, I am very happy with them. I get no perks for recommending them. They did what they said they would do for the costthey quoted me and delivered it when they said.

FWIW, I was on the fence with OP tech also, from all the correspondence they seem to still planning on supporting the Experimental market.

See below, but it sounds like you want Cheltons. They do everything you mentioned. If you haven't flown behind them yet. Find someone that has them and get a ride.
Where are you located? The only thing I would add would be some small backup gauges. airspeed, altimeter, and trutrack AH/turn coordinator.
