You omitted a crucial issue, two actually: what's the production volume,
and what's the budget? Doing this with high-end PLDs of one flavor or
another will have a high up-front overhead: big bucks for the programmer
and design software (you can't build your own, they won't tell you how),
plus some effort adapting your design to whatever flavor of chip you use.
