There are many types of PIC's out there, before going off and buying a PIC on its own, you should consider the other requirements of PIC programming;

Software
- Program Development (Like Proton Lite)
- Programmer (Like IC-Prog)

Hardware
- Programmer (JDM's are cheap, and do the job quite well, there are some low-grade ones out there though)

Maybe this will help you out a bit
 
Creating PIC programs and programming your PICs is easy after you have the basics down pat.

Perhaps this **broken link removed** would help you/someone out.

To further answer your previous question, I would recommend the 16F877, as you can create programs in Proton Lite, SIM them, and then apply them in real life. Proton Lite only supports a couple of PIC's, Proton+ PDS (Full version) supports almost every PIC out there. Also, the 16F877 has HEAPS of program space, and plenty of I/O pins & features for future projects!

Why Proton Lite? Well after you have played with the virtual simulation tool (as shown in the tutorial above) you wont go back :p
