I am wondering why you choose the 18 series PICs at all. I suggest to
use the Atmel AVR flash MCU for development in c language. I think
the Atmel parts offer better value for money and are very well suited
to c language. Imagecraft sell a very efficient ansi C compiler for
the AVR for $200. I can't recommend this highly enough.

best regards,
Johnny.
