Need help deciding = BASCOM 0r PICBASIC

IMHO, PICBASIC will be the one to choose. It's on the market since awhile, mature and stable.

On this forum there's a huge amount of people to help you on various area.

Look at the Supported device list of PICBASIC PRO.

Atmel are great but, i doubt you'll find support as here.

Microchip always growing, there's a HUUUUUGE amount of different device, different size, different speed up to 48MHZ, and, and...

Well choice is still yours

Atmels have a better price/performance ratio than Microchip PICs (bang goes my free holiday from Microchip this year!) when purchased in quantity. Saying that, PICs have a better design cycle time and you can bring a product to market quicker with a PIC than you can with an Atmel. It's all down to your application.
