I am very partial to MicroC/OS-II. It offers all the features you list
including fast context switching. It has been ported to all kinds of chips
based on ARM7 and ARM9 cores and the ports are available freely from
Micrium's web site. Jean Labrosse published a book on the OS (available on
their web site or from Amazon) and the book includes a CD with all of the
source code. You can have it all for about US$70. A production license is
under $3000.

MicroC/OS-II has also been tested extensively for use in safety critical
systems.
