HiTech C is $495 for the standard version and $1195 for the PRO version.

BoostC is $69 for the standard and $150 for the PRO version.

Both have free version that you can try.

I use the free version of Hi-Tech C, the only difference is the standard and pro version optimise the code more. If you don't need to fit a large, complicated program into the smallest PIC possible, the free version will do the job.
 
You can also check out LITE versions from microchip. They do not have a compiler for 16F or lesser. If you will be working with 18F, C18 is a very good option.

Otherwise, I would suggest free version of Hi-Tech C, as Jules mentioned. I have used MikroC (the free version)for sometime, It works fine. You can try out the free versions before you buy one.
 
I quite like HI-TECH. The free version is fine for hobby programming, if you run out of space there are plenty of chips with bigger program memory.

I can't recommend BoostC. I tried it for a while and at first it is great, but there are a few too many annoying things with the compiler.

You really need to say whether you are using 16F or 18F, as there can be a difference.
