Pierce oscillator with CMOS

Hello
I will implement a oscillator for a wireless medical application. The frequency will be around 8-9MHz, and the signals should be as close to sine as possilble.
I have never designed a oscillator before, so I am quite a newbie. After looking around a little, I found out that I could implement a crystal together with a CMOS inverter in what is called a Pierce-oscillator, instead of building the oscillator with discrete components. This would save me a lot of time and testing.

Does anyone have any suggestions or comments to this and suggestions for parts to use, I would be grateful.
