I've just been through the same process and I can recommend BASCOM AVR if
you're in a hurry (www.mcselec.com) or WinAVR (GCC AVR) from
www.avrfreaks.com for an ANSI C compatible compiler.

AVR Freaks has a huge range of user created libraries of functions and code
examples, very handy. One I can definately recommend is the library made by
Chris Efstathiou. It contains code for 1 wire, i2c, LCD displays, AD
converters, software and hardware UARTs and some very handy accurate delay
functions. All the code is in GCC compatible C, very well documented and
easy to read, and very configurable. All the timing functionality throughout
the library is dependent upon a #DEFINE'd processor frwquency, not hard
coded, which saves a lot of time...

Should this go under the [AVR]: tag now??
