I am about to retrofit a cnc cmm with mach3 and MSM and in selecting my components, I was wondering if you have any suggestions for which step generator I should use. For this project, I'm leaning toward the smoothstepper.

Hi,
From the MSM viewpoint it will not matter. MSM doesn't really know about that low level fo mach, so it's independent of the motion step generation device.
Just FYI, re installed base I believe the MSM user base in interface order (most to least) is Parallel ports, followed by smooth stepper (usb), then Smooth stepper (enet) then other interfaces (galil control boards etc).
I'm not aware of any tech issues with the SS as long as they are using recent firmware.
