What would be the best method for scanning 40 keys using pic microcontroller :

1.interrupt based using multiple port expanders mcp23017 or mcp23s17.

2.Using a dedicated controller for key scanning and sending data using rs232 tx pin.

3.Any other method.
 

That depends on how far are you going to be involved in this ..

If you think you can do it by yourself then this option:
1.interrupt based using multiple port expanders mcp23017 or mcp23s17.

looks reasonable ..

I prefer dedicated controller.

1. Scanning
2. Pressed->interrupt master controller <10ms delay/debounce>--->send 8bit address to master corresponding to pressed key
