The 16F88 is a much more fully fetured part. Extr features include:

* nanowatt with precision internal oscillator, multi speed, and ultra low power
  modes.
* Self programmable.
* double the data and EEPROM memory and 64 percent more RAM.
* Analog to digital converter.

The extra memory, internal precision multispeed oscillator, and the self
programmbility makes it a winner for the hobbyist. Of course it's a bit more
pricey thn the 16F628. But Wouter is close to the mark with his choice. In
fact if memory isn't an issue than even a 16F627 or possible a 16F716 could
fit the bill at a cheaper price.
