I use CBLOCK to reserve memory space for variables that can be referred
to by name ie MOVFW var1

EQU is used for declaring a constant.

Org	0x20		;or were you want in memory
Test EQU .44	; Test = decimal 44 - Use MOVLW Test to move .44 into W

Others on the list will suggest using relative addressing were you use
RES instead of CBLOCK but if you have not learnt or do not want to use
relative addressing then I find CBLock and EQU are the way to go.

Note I also use MOVFW and MOVWF - instead of MOV Var,W or Mov Var,F as I
fine it easer to type at the time.

Subject: [PIC] Equates or CBlock?

Y'all are going to be seeing alot of questions from me in the next week 
or two...

I'm trying to figure out when I should use an EQU and when to use the 
CBlock.  What is the difference?
