PWM Data Logging

I am new to this and looking to create something to record two separate pwm signals.

The signals will be between 1 and 2 ms

The processing of the data can be carried out on a pc afterwards so I was thinking of just writing the length of the pulse to an SD card.

I assume i need to use a microcontroller to achieve this but can anyone give me an idea on which one to go for and where to start!

Sorry if this is a little simplistic and thanks for any help.
 
There are one or two preliminary questions, and then somebody else (not me!) can have a go at giving you the best answer.
First, how accurately does the measurement need to be made, please? What kind of signals are they - pulsed DC or pulsed AC signal?
Also importantly - what voltages are involved please?
My final question is "what about noise?" Where does the signal come from and is it clean, and where does any noise come from?
