Need Micro Controller Evaluation

I am looking for a development board for controlling lab instruments
and doing some experiments. I expect to use simple interfaces to
sensors and to use digital control and also to sometimes interface with
a PC for recording data. Getting up and running quickly is important,
as is having a flexible system.

I spent a year doing professional firmware on an H8 development board
but it was six years ago and I don't remember what I used.

What I think I want is a development board/micro controller with:
A few timers,
A few channels of ADC (speed not too important-so one ADC should
do. I could live with an external multiplexor)
Access to the micro's pins. Either via headers or with some space
for the
Flash memory. 32K should be plenty
A few K of RAM.
An on board LCD display (32 charecters should be over kill and
could live with less). I Could add this but it would be much faster if
the eval board came with one.
C compilier
Debugger
USB port would be nice
Price <$350 for whole system. <$200 would be ideal.

Any advice one who makes good boards and has good documentations would
be greatly appriciated. SHould I stick with an H8? Does it matter?
