Depends on what temperature range you want to read as far as the diodes are concerned. As for the DS18S20 they're great little ICs, you can network them on a single 3 conductor cable. There is a DS18S20-PAR which works with a 2 wire cable too.
Yes many PICs have a pair of comparators which would work fine with an analog sensor like the LM34/35
The EasyPIC5 is popular and IMO kind of overkill, take a peek at the Junebug threads here; it has a 1-wire sensor socket on the front. It's also got an MPLAB compatible programmer / debugger and 18F tutor onboard.
And I'd recommend looking at Swordfish BASIC the free SE version can do all the things you're looking for.
PS I'll throw in a free ROBIN PCB (small LCD device that might just be what you're looking for) if you buy a Junebug
PS you probably don't want a GLCD display (like you described) but a 20x4 character display can do block graphics.
