Well, maybe it is not the best choice after all.  See this
document<http://www.radioamateur.org/newsradio/userfiles/reference%20dual%20az%20protocol%20v2_0_0.pdf>
which
talks about some of the limitations of the DCU-1 protocol (e.g., no
Elevation control, just azimuth).

Which controller type supports the highest baud rate?

In the table half way down the PstRotator
webpage<http://www.qsl.net/yo3dmu/index_Page346.htm> it
says the AlfaSpid BIG-RAS/HR  supports 460800 baud (!).  If that's not a
typo, the second highest is the OE5JFL, supporting 115200 baud.
