I started out with the 16F628 and thought it was excellent. I moved up to the 16F877 when I needed more pins, and then 18F4550 for USB.

Now it looks like I'm going to be a big fan of the 18F2x/4xK22 series (internal 64MHz); unless someone shows me a better, cheaper all-around series.

Supply is not a problem in Canada for any PIC, you may have different availability in your country.
