Gordon,
I haven't done half you have, so this is just based on what I have read (and tested) so far. You are probably asking about EAL rather than AGI. You'll need AGI only if there are functions you can't implement within Asterisk and you don't want to write a full application for Asterisk. If you are thinking about programming flexibility, EAL could be your friend because it has "programming language like" structures so your project remain manageable.
