Actually the avionics (screens and bus architecture) are all Honeywell, but there are options for the FMS (when you do the avionics test on all the ERJs, it says something close to "Honeywell. Helping you control your world").
The CRJ has late 80's, very early 90's technology, while the ERJ has mid 90's technology. The ERJ is very pilot friendly with all the automation (you don't normally even have to turn the anti-ice on since it is even "automatic"), but IMO it will make you a lazy pilot in the long run. Pretty much all other aircraft out there are somewhat of a step backwards in how you manage the cockpit (other than possibly an Airbus).
