6510FPGA Suggestions?

Since for some time I am walking circles around the FPGA/CPLD bandwagon, I thought it might be time to have a closer look. I checked opencores and tried to decide where to spend some money (Altera, Atmel, Xilinx, ...?) that would be able to implement a 6502 and an I/O port together with some RAM and ROM modules. My n00b questions to the more experienced fellows:

- how many kgates can be needed for something like I mentioned above?
- what would be the best h/w platform/vendor and why?
- what is the most complete/reliable 6502 core to use as starting point?
- what can you suggest or warn about?

Cordially,
