The 16F84A was replaced last century by the 16F628, which in turn has been replaced by the 16F628A - the 628's have a hardware USART which will make your serial comms easier, and they are cheaper than an 84 as well.

There are a great many suitable PIC's you could use, it really depends on what features you require - however, the 84 isn't one you should be looking at (unless you've got an old box full of them?).
