Should I drive a HDD motor with VESC or some other chip?

I'm designing an Electrostatic Field Mill - a device to measure electrostatic fields. One part of the device is a small rotor spinning. My plan is to use an re-purposed hard drive motor to do this and now I'm looking at VESC as a possible ESC. It will probably be an overkill, but it is important for the measurements that the motor produces as little electrical noise as possible.

My question is how much of the VESC design should I use for my design or does anyone know a good monolithic chip that can do this for me? The sensor itself will be built around an Arduino compatible MCU and I'm planning to let the ESC get its own MCU and have them communicate over SPI or I2C.

Any suggestions regarding the system design is appreciated.
