mstest

I realise that there are many older questions addressing the general question of NUnit v MSTest for versions of Visual Studio up to 2008 (such as this one).

Microsoft have a history of getting things right in their 3rd version. For MSTest, that is VS2010.

Have they done so with MSTest? Would you use it in a new project in preference to NUnit?

My specific concerns:

speed
running tests within CruiseControl.NET (either commandline or MSBuild task)
code coverage reports from CC.NET
can you run MSTest tests in debug mode

(We use ReSharper, so test-runners are not an issue for us. We have used NUnit for the last few years. We do not have TFS.)
