The old debate, who is better TI or Casio, here is what I know:
TI 86:
Good things: ASM support, strings in programs, better naming for variables, more functions callable in programs, more widely used - thus its easyer to ask someone for help.
Bad Things: The programs (non ASM) on the Ti's run slower as time passes - making it good only for text based games, no main menu, lack of a CAS
Casio
Good Things: programs run at a consistant speed, icon menu, Add-ins, better display than Ti's, CAS, a lot of active programmers making new things.
Bad Things: No direct ASM support, CAS functions not useable in programs, one letter variables only, restricted amount of Lists and Matricies.
Personally I favor casio because it presents more of a challenge to programmers... and I'm hoping their future calcs will surpass Ti in every way. (I know, yeah right)

On the FX 1.0 supporting ASM: It is supported in the sense that there is a official mechanism to allow running asm programs (unlike the TI-92 which relies on a backwards hack if memory serves). You just can't easily send programs between calculators - at this point it needs to be sent from a computer.
