I've currently been working with the 16F series and am looking to purchase a couple of larger PICs for when my easypic board comes in.

What is your suggestion or which to get or what is most popular?

Thanks.

Don't really know, but check out the price of 16F84A (very old but still in production) with 16F628A (pin compatible and better in every way). From my supplier the 84A is 3 times the price.
I guess they are trying to persuade people to upgrade so they can phase out the older ones someday.

Look at the 18F series, often almost as cheap and a lot of juice. For example PIC18F4550. Program in C ( free compiler from MChip ) Look at how the usb bitwacker does it, or get one.
