Short answer (reflects my opinion): I would use a low or midrange pic 
for any quick project where accurate timing is essential and where I 
want to code a lot of microsecond-accurate bit-banging in assembly at a 
low cost. I would use something else for anything larger (I do not have 
access to a pic C compiler excepting sdcc), and program it in C. Then I 
could change processors several times without trouble as needed (C is 
fairly portable).
