In short Aaron needs a 8 port serial port controlled servo controller.

Did you take a read here?

BTW for this task any language will work as long as the USART is in hardware.
I'm not sure you can hardware PWM of the period that servos require. In
addition no PIC has 8 PWM outputs anyway, so you'd have to do it in software
using one of the timers.
