Any paired-end or long read platform will be adequate.
Solexa, SOLiD and 454 will all work for this type of project, and you should consider how much you're planning to sequence and what resources are available to you to decide which to use.Mendelian Disorder: A blogshare of random useful information for general public consumption. [Blog]

Data variability is still an issue in sequencing technologies despite the advances in reproducibility and accuracy of these platforms. But the problem does not originate in the sequencing itself, but in the previous steps, before the sample reaches the sequencer.
The first step is collection, followed by preservation and sample preparation for analysis. Most scientists overlook those steps, but not being careful might just be skewing the experiment’s results.
