I tried 2 of the Arduino-like attempts from the big hardware vendors such as TI and STM (a 9$ 32-bit ARM board http://www.st.com/internet/evalboard/product/250863.jsp, at least when I bought it) but I found the documentation very dissappointing. The Arduino community is really huge compared to it, and there is code online for basically everything you would want to make with led, lcd, servo, relais or stepper motor modules. If the cost is an issue, just buy a cheap arduino clone on ebay. You can also get really cheap relay modules on ebay btw.
Next to being harder to program, they are also not open source, and in case of the STM even have a license that prevents you from selling it as part of a product (Maybe this is also the case for the launchpad).
If it wasn't clear yet, I would also advice an arduino-like one :)

"Arduinos" can be programmed in any language, as long is it is eventually compiled to machine code via some interpretation. Arduinos are normally programmed with the arduino IDE, which accepts a mashup of C code and java-esque syntax, as well as in-line assembly.
I think if you are new to MCU programming, and running windows, go with the TI launchpad. The entire dev board is 5$, and you can get chips that literally cost less than a dollar (lowest quote I saw was like 25 cents). They should have enough power to do what you want, but also be hella cheap.

Hm, maybe it's also possible with C, I don't know.
I'm programming it with Java :)
