Wondering with all the improvments, if anyone has a recommendation on what PIC midrange 28 pin DIP is best to run with GCB? 20 PIN DIP would also be of interest...
Thanks,

I'm a fan of the 18f2xk22 family. So for "development" purposes, don't cut yourself short of program space, ram, or eeprom and use the 18f26k22. Others will have their favorites depending on what particulars are needed.
The enhanced midrange has some very specific modules that are interesting, so no harm in picking up a couple of those too depending on what projects you envision.

PPS Support
Analog-to-Digital Converter
Analog-to-Digital Converter with Computation (28 & 40 Pin only)
Digital-to-Analog Converter
Fixed Voltage Reference
Capture/Compare/PWM Modules
Configurable Logic Cell
Comparators
Complementary Waveform Generator
Numerically Controlled Oscillator
Digital Signal Modulator
Pulse-Width Modulator
EUSART
Master Synchronous Serial Port (I2C / SPI)
Timers 0-2 (All), 0-8 (14 Pin and above)
Signal Measure Timer (28 & 40 Pin only)
I highly recommend the above for training and hobby use and GCBASIC has a lot of examples for them in the code library.
I agree with Kent too but be aware that, at this stage, there are a lot of Silicon Errata still being discovered on the 18F K series devices. So though good for production were the shortcomings can be avoided they can be difficult to develop or learn on as there is always a nagging feeling of a possible H/W error when you have a bug in your code ;>)
Cheers

I like pic16f1938, pic16f688, pic16f88

My favorate Enhanced Core PIC16 devices are:
They all have the folowing enhanced perephirals:

Thanks everyone, that was exactly the kind of info I was needing...
Best to All,
