PIC or Freescale HC08 ??



Hi Group:
I've got a project that I'm contemplating that needs:

To read a keypad with 20 switches.
Control 7 digits of 7 seven segment displays.
Generate pulses for a small stepper motor. (full step and micro step)
Possible control of a brushless servo motor with encoder feedback.
Monitor a few simple sensors.
A few hundred bytes of RAM is enough.
Program size with lookup tables ect, should be under 4-6K.
Flash would be nice.

I've never worked with the PIC and looking at their product line up there's
just too many to chose from.
I have worked with the Motorola stuff (HC05) but they are not making anymore
HC05 parts.
My question is, What PIC would you use to do the above. Or maybe use several
PIC's to get the job done?
Or would you just go for one of the bigger HC08's?

Thanks!
Any input appreciated.
