Hi Mike,
Since you are planning to use a micro anyway, and it doesn't appear you will
need a great deal of external logic, you might consider one of the micros that
has some programmable logic on board. Cypress PSOC is the prototypical example:

They have a wide variety starting with Cortex M0 and going up, with varying
amounts of programmable logic. Their tools are pretty nice, too, with
pre-built modules and also allowing you to drop into raw HDL if you need or
want to. They have a nice selection of reasonably priced dev boards to get
started.
