I took a look at the page... The one criteria, being able to update in a live system, trumps all of the other considerations. If you cannot update a live system, then you might as well take your ball & bat and go home. :-) Seriously, that is a what I would call a no-brainer decision.

Currently we have only 16MB total of flash and If you have enough flash to store a compressed ramdisk image, you can store a compressed flash file system as well.
