I would pick Fusebox w/ ColdSpring by default. But if the application processing required a significant number of dynamic state changes at the controller level, I'd probably go with Model-Glue w/ ColdSpring. FB's execution path is static, so it's not a good fit for complex dynamic flow processing. A dynamically driven framework (Mach-II or Model-Glue) would be a better fit for that situation. So it depends. :)
