Just to give some other recommendation .. as maubp has already mentioned, I'd give MIRA3 a try. It is (usually) doing a good job on this size of genome. It also handles repetitive sequence quite effective.

In the 1-100Mb class we successfully use Celera Assembler (currently v6beta), results can be converted to ACE/CAF ([1], still "beta").

Just my 2p,

I finally did try MIRA3. Yes, I like the results. 37 contigs in one main scaffold, 10 of the contigs larger than 1 kb. When I look at the .ace file with consed, the contig breaks seem reasonable. That is, they are in regions with a fairly complex repeat structure.
