I'd like to improve my lab tooling, so I'm thinking about a digital
storage oscilloscope, and plan to visit the local importer of Rigol
equipment in a few weeks.

Lots of choices, at increasing costs.

Wisdom of the crowd; what kind of bandwidth do I need?

My needs are in embedded system design, laptop testing, and hobby
electronics.  I'm not an analog guy.  Processors used are Intel Atom,
Atmel AVR, Microchip PIC, Espressif, Freescale and Marvell ARM.

Laptop testing is a can of worms; and I've no experience with using a
DSO for that, so let's exclude the high speed busses, and let the
contract manufacturer take that responsibility.

I've been using a dual channel 20 MHz analog electron gun phosphor
oscilloscope and a Nonolith CEE.
