I don't know that this is really the right place to ask this, but does anyone know where the SCXI product line currently is in terms of lifecycle? Is it likely that I will still be able to buy SCXI cards in, say, 10 years?
If not, is PXIe the crate of choice for long term supportability?

I was told fairly recently that NI will support SCXI through 2020. That gives you another 5 years. And I think that is just driver support, not necessarily being able to freely buy it. But check with your local NI sales rep to make them look into it.
But if you are making a new system, PXIe is definately the way to go.
