I was wondering what PICs people keep on hand and use the most often and why. For example, I have:
PIC16F628A (easy to use, simple projects, adapt 16F84 examples on the web to this easily)
PIC16F877A (will be using my PIC16F887s instead of these going forward, similar to 16F628A in features but more I/O pins for projects requiring it)
PIC12F675 (simple and useful when you only need a few pins)
PIC18F1220 (chose this to move into PIC18s)
PIC18F452 (more I/O pin projects)
Have a bunch of others, (notable PICs might be the 16F88, 16F54) however the above is what I find myself using the most currently. I kind of want to get feedback so that I can figure out what PIC might be nice to take on next based on usefulness. Will give me an idea of what to get when taking advantage of Microchip's sample service which I've never tried before.
