ball on plate balance system controller options

Hi im looking at designing and building a ball on a plate balance system. Essentially a ball will rest on a 4 wire resistive plate which will be supported by servo motors. The ball receives a step input and the plate will move around 2 axis to return the ball to the home position i.e centre of plate. I have seen where others have completed this project using PID controllers. My question is can I use a dahlin or kalman controller. Taking the signals via an Arduino meago board.
