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.
AEL, for Asterisk Extension Language, not EAL. See ael.txt or
README.ael (depending on version) in doc/ directory. Shows how little I
have learned about Asterisk.

We have chosen to do certain funtions in AGI using PHP because we do connections to mysql and some
other stuff, and and I think you have much more control with DB-related issues with AGI then with
normal dialplan(.conf or AEL). However, where we dont need DB access, we only now use AEL, it
really is awesome.
