please give more info on what your are seeking to do , want from the pic and RF module ,
But i would start out by saying the following
1. pic chips you are looking to use don't support an inbuilt spi bus , so shiftin / shiftout command structure is to be used to get the command to the RF module
2. depending what your final use is for the pics, consideration of what other functions it may have to do ,You may look at 16F1825 for a good price, given it better mem/ cpu flexibility
3. do a search on my other posts relating to the rf module , you will find some good details and structure refs
4. i found connecting the IRQ pin on the module to be handy , but not a requirement
5. cos the module works at 3.3V not 5v, you may wish to look at using the pic at 3.3v , with a regulator , consider the osc speed , standby voltage , wakeup requirements of the module - depending on the app / pic requirements/ PIC programming at 3.3v
6. depending on your requirements , consider a another RF modual that would require a serial stream of data only to be sent / recieved as an alternative to this module, this options depends on how critical the data sent / received is / retry requirements/ voltage etc , note that there are also alot of devices that use 2.4ghz
7. only look at the NRF24L01+ versions, these are often with a zig zag pattern on the aerial not the one you have linked to
have a look at http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/2-PCS-NRF...item35bc3877e9
I have found that the range on the plus version to be better.
I hope that some of the questions raised help you to define what your seeking from what the rf module is to do
Regards
Sheldon
