Why not get the best of both worlds? Implement your logic in
SomeLibrary.dll. Then, create a console app that uses this library so
you can test your cade easier. After, create a service that uses the
same library for deploying it.

Oh, and make sure you develop a simple logging method that calls
Console.WriteLine and at the same time writes to the event log
(System.Diagnostics.*) so you can debug it both from the console app and
the service.
