We're going to have to provide a standard 16-bit BIOS interface if we want to support DOS and Windows users. There's not a lot of chance of making the BIOS go straight into 32-bit mode and stay there.
We can still use C in 16-bit mode - take a look at the elks development utils, which are quite suitable for this task.
I think we want to write most of it in C, with some critical sections in ASM - after http://dwmw2.robinson.cam.ac.uk/devload/ I really don't want to think about large projects written solely in assembly.
