Modern software dev for OSI

Howdy!
In general, how do folks within our community write complex programs in for OSI machines these days with modern tools? I've got a few specific questions:
In general, how do folks within our community write complex programs in for OSI machines these days with modern tools? I've got a few specific questions:
- Are there specific 6502 assemblers you prefer to use? ca65, dasm, one of the web-based options, etc.
- If you use a higher level language, do you go with C and cc65, or perhaps FORTH, or some other HLL with a 6502 target that I'm not thinking of?
- How do you test that software -- on real hardware right off the bat, or on an emulated setup?
- If the latter, how do you setup that emulator to match the exact hardware you need? I know we have some generalized machines like a C1P or C4P, but what if you want to emulate specific features and add-ons, or perhaps something a little less standardized?
