>ultra low power consumption is basically the same between msp430 and mspm0
Oh that's impressive. I bet they'd sell a lot more to hobbyists with an open toolchain and open-source hardware for the programmer, but TI doesn't seem as into that as Microchip or STM.
>TI or STM
I'd go STM. While they don't encourage people programming it bare metal, plenty of people do, and there's lots of 3rd party development environments to choose from. The programming hardware is also dirt cheap. People clone those chips too, with things like the GD32. I think you can also use the same programming hardware and software for their smaller STM8 chips, probably for ST's ASICs with an ARM core inside (e.g. motor drivers, power management chips, etc.) too.
