The ST uPSD34XX line of controllers does a reasonable job with the things you mentioned (dual UARTs, USB, JTAG debug), and I've found them not-too-terrible to work with. They make a DK3400 development kit...

I saw that in my 2006 Farnell printed catalogue (their website was down all weekend) and it looked huge - hence I didn't really consider it.

... but the ED3K4 seems to be something of a "core module" with the controller and some interfaces and peripherals sandwiched onto a pretty compact board. This might leave you able to do your development with the dev kit, but just incorporate the footprint for this core module into your design and slap it together.

Now there's an idea.

Also, now that they've fixed their website, it seems that Farnell don't actually do any of the SiLabs two-UART devkits! :-(
So there goes my initial assumption:
I said:
SiLabs is favourite as I can easily just use their devkit from Farnell

:-(

And, as Jan reminded me, I do have one of the little ST devkit thingies:
