I'd sure like it if someone would add true Memory Protection for Amigas 
without MMUs.  Gurus because of programs playing with the wrong memory
are so frustrating.  It seems like the way that the Amiga's OS is designed,
you should be able to replace the existing parts of the OS with your own
memory tracking routines.  Anyway, that's my $.02 worth.

Good luck on whatever you finally pick,
