Assembly in an OS...

Does it matter what assembler (TASM, NASM, GAS, etc) you use when developing the OS? I know it has to be for the right CPU, but are there any other compatibility problems that one should know about involving assembly?

i don't think so... you're basically creating a binary with certain specifications. none of the assemblers lack assembly commands or the ability to do simple macros.

I'd recommend NASM, by default it doesn't add any shite to you binary...which is handy. It doesn't include any of the 'high level' commands, such as print routines which wouldn't work in your own OS anyway
